Can you believe this? Next thing you know we will have to go to a special class to purchase, own, and display a Christmas Tree because it is a lethal weapon. If so, I want to be a card carrying member of the National Christmas Tree Club and put a Christmas Tree Rack in the back window of my pickup!
Police: Florida Man Arrested for Attacking Father With Christmas Tree
Tuesday , December 02, 2008
PARRISH, Fla. —
Authorities say a west Florida man who lives with his parents has been arrested on a felony assault charge after he used a Christmas tree as a weapon to attack his father.According to the Manatee County sheriff's report, 37-year-old Thomas Edward Lackie was arrested last week after he threw a 3-foot Christmas tree at his father. The tree missed, but Lackie then tried to use the steel base from the tree to strike his father.
His father and mother were able to grab Lackie's arms to prevent the attack. Deputies say the tree could have caused serious injuries because the metal base weighs about five pounds.
Lackie was charged with felony assault. He denied trying to strike his father.

In regards to your twit ranking, there's probably only about 25 computers in the whole state of MO, so I wouldn't put too much stock in that. :-)
