BEER-DRINKING MAN FALLS OUT OF GIANT REDWOOD TREE

A Santa Rosa, California, man was sitting in a redwood tree in his backyard, drinking beer, about 70 feet up, when he fell, slamming into limbs on the way down before landing face down. Santa Rosa firefighters received multiple calls Sunday about a man high in a 100‑foot redwood tree drinking beer and then for a man who’d fallen from that same tree. Fire Capt. Jack Thomas initially had been forming a plan for the difficult job of getting the man out of the tree when they saw that he’d fallen. Firefighters and paramedics began medical aid and inside his pockets found unbroken, empty Corona beer bottles. The semi‑conscious, injured man was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
* Guy was really out of his tree.
* It was nice that he didn’t litter.
* It’s around this time of year when those trees drop their nuts, no?
* For the difficult job of getting down, he sure came up with an easy solution.
* This has limerick written all over it.
* “There was a young man strong and free, who liked drinking beer up a tree, but then he fell down like a drunken old clown, while taking a 70-foot pee.”
* You know the amazing part? The guy’s backyard actually has a 100-foot redwood in it.
* People drive a long way to see one of those.
* This guy doesn’t need a tree house. He needs a tree tavern.
