You wouldn't dream of pulling out one of your own teeth. You'd want a dentist for that ... or someone with a terrific upper cut.Well, a Hanover Township resident was bothered that one of his trees was beginning to encroach on a neighbor's property. He recently decided to cut it down and remove it himself.
He approached it like a math problem.
He lashed the tree trunk to his SUV, figuring that would prevent the timber from falling on his neighbor's home. Then he propped a ladder on the other side, and shimmied up
He was happily sawing away at branches when his perch began to buckle.
Fortunately, Hanover's EMS Kris Mattson saw what was going on, and managed to stop this amateur lumberjack before he killed himself.
The tree has since been professionally removed.
I will withhold the property owner's name and address. But I'll give you this hint. He's a math teacher.

I'm guessing it wasn't Archimedes, unless the woodsman intended to use his head as a fulcrum.
