A Stolen Christmas Tree
“I had some friends cut down a Christmas tree from campus somewhere and put it up in their dorm room. The only thing is, real Christmas trees are not allowed because they’re a crazy fire hazard… They bought one of those things you would put a live plant in (a planter?), some 90 degree brackets, and some screws and screwed the tree down.
Then they built a false top and sprinkled dirt and rocks (again taken from campus) on it to make it look like the tree was planted in dirt. They convinced our RA that they had an uncle who had a tree farm and allowed them to dig up a real tree to use for the year.
My absolute favorite part is that they returned the saw they used to Walmart.”
