I HATE pine trees therefore I'd gladly cut down your worthless pine trees for free! However I hate spammers even more and I cannot guarantee that I won't drop these trees on your house and/or you yourself.

I have tall trees that you can have for the cutting down and cleaning up
all wood would be yours but you need to clean up after they are down
and take care of the stump. You will need your own insurance as we will not be responsible for any
injury to yourself and you will be responsible for any damage you might do to our structures.
The trees are not very close so I don't think that will be a problem but I just want you to know
 
Thanks for a great laugh! Mass sounds like a war zone up there. More! More! Encore! :lol: %-P
 
That's a great rant! I love the use of ALL CAPS. The icing on the cake is how he "rewrites" the ad; the way he feels it should read. :lol:
 
I was thinking of posting a similar rant -- like anyone is going to get a tree service to work for free.

Now when I see those types of postings I can just send them a link to this thread.
 
Maybe we should write ones posing as a tree service looking to cut down tree's for free. We could make note we have insurance from some fly by night place and are known to drop tree's on homes and cars and "need practice before charging people"

Then if they call string them along find out when they are home and go out and cut down some other tree and leave them a bill for 500.00 stapled to there front door !
