When I was younger, my dad put a little barrier (which is here to this day) around a weak widdle tree. I asked dad why he did that. He said "To protect it from weed whackers!". For years I thought a "weed whacker" was a kind of beaver with a chainsaw for a tail, that goes on annual killing rampages angainst widdle trees.
