bobcatmoranI was working with the tree climbers yesterday, when V, excited and proud of how he'd managed to get his rope perfectly situated between two branches on the first toss yelled out to the other climber, "Hey, John, look at my crotch!"
We all understood that he meant "tree crotch," but there was this kind of long, awkward pause before we all burst out laughing.
Then, later, we were working on a property when one of the guys who lives there came home. I gave my little, "Hi, we're from the USDA, etc. etc." spiel, and he made the usual noises of, "Oh, all right then."
A minute later, we heard him quite clearly talking to his roommate and saying, "Did you get confirmation on these beetle people? I swear they're fucking putting cameras in the trees or some shit." In his defense(?), he was probably high as a kite, judging by the way he was moving and the way he was slurring his words.
That didn't keep me from saying, a bit snarkily, as I left to see if we could get access to some other properties, "I'm going to go across the street to see if they'll let us put cameras in their trees."
