John McPherson makes us howl at his adroit mix of everyday settings and extraordinary events. John’s offbeat, oddball characters turn up in familiar places, but their actions are always hilarious and unexpected.

We had an x-mas tree we threw out back (in a wooded area, to compost) that 3 years later still had most of it’s needles. Someone is shaking this tree!

The problem is that the tree in that condition is a fire hazard.
