Those crazy tree huggers!

While walking through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco a man came upon another man hugging a tree with his ear firmly against its trunk. Seeing this he inquired, "Just out of curiosity, what the heck are you doing?"

"I'm listening to the music of the tree," the other man replied.

"You've gotta be kiddin' me."

"No, would you like to give it a try?"

Understandably curious, the man says, "Well, OK..." So he wrapped his arms around the tree and pressed his ear up against it. With this, the other guy slapped a pair of handcuffs on him, took his
wallet, jewelry, car keys, then stripped him naked and left.

Two hours later another nature lover strolled by, saw this guy handcuffed to the tree stark naked, and asked, "What the heck happened to you?"

He told his would-be rescuer the whole terrible story about how he got there. As he told his story, the other guy just shook his head in sympathy.

And when the story was finished, the good samaritan walked around behind him, kissed him gently behind the ear and said:

You know cupcake... I think this just ain't gonna be your day!

I remember a patient who was a business man sent on one of the obligatory 'weekend retreats'; he got lost in the woods and he swore he heard a tree say "get the hell out' after he decided to hug it.
We later interpreted it as get the 'Hell" out of his life rather than get out of the forest - which he did as fast as he could run, prompting a fall and sprain.
