Two Trees and a Woodpecker
>
> It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two
> in it, but here is one:
>
> Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the
> woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the
> beech says to the birch, 'Is that a son of a beech or a
> son of a birch?'
>
> The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker
> lands on the sapling.
>
> The birch says, 'Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can
> you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a
> birch?'
> The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree, &
> replies, 'It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a
> birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever
> poked my pecker into.'
