Cherry trees are admirable

[SENMSL]

They are admirable because they are national gifts protected by federal laws. If you cut down a cherry tree and admit it, you will be arrested and nobody cares that you are honest.

Why chop though when you can

They should've arrested George Washington

Yup good old George was a criminal. Our first president was a criminal. And it snowballed downhill from there.

A. That's a myth.
B. North American cherry trees are unrelated to Nippon Sakura trees.

But it's true, you don't want to ♥♥♥♥ with Dept of the Interior agents and National Park Service rangers. They're practically born with ghillie suits.

i dont understand

So actually, the meaning of that story is quite different than what anyone believes.

Cherry trees are fake (just like the birds). In fact, "cherry trees" are where they hide the charging stations.

So when George Washington chopped one down, he was dismantling the redcoat surveillance network. And why WOULD he lie about that? As in the story, he 'admitted' it loudly and with pride.


The last part of that story, which is rarely told, is about the other Americans gathering 'round and realizing "holdon a sec, we can repurpose these to spy on and oppress our own people instead! Brilliant!"

Still prefer pine trees, but yes, they're beautiful.

They also grow the best damn fruit on the planet.
