Just when you thought you heard everything:
A friend relayed a story to me of a neighbor who decided that he wanted to get rid of a tree.
He decides, for whatever reason, that it would be best to kill the tree before cutting it.
His method to kill the tree: mix together FIVE GALLONS of "Roundup", FOUR GALLONS of "Weed B-Gone", a bag of Scott's granular weed killer, and a half gallon of TURPENTINE ("for extra good measure"?) and pour the concoction into the ground at the base of three tree.
