A FaceBook friend alerted me to this story in the Arizona Republic titled "Tree carved in shape of a penis in Tempe offends some." Although I rarely read local news, I felt compelled to check this one out.
According to a neighbor named Susan Wood (I kid you not), the tree died and was a bit of an eyesore. Then the home owner carved the dead tree into a penis: "Neighbors say the tree was dead and unattractive before it was carved up. The wood now rises over the side of a cement wall in the owner's backyard where it is visible to people walking by."
The homeowner has been issued a violation for having a dead tree. I guess there's no city ordinance covering penis shaped trees. Can you imagine? "We want you to remove that penis tree dead or alive." I mean, this is the old west, right?
Since the article didn't include pictures, I went to google images and search "tempe dick tree" and here's what I got on the first page: I'll leave it to you to decide which is real deal.
Update: there is now a video:

This is too funny. So are the neighbors' reactions. Women seem to like it better than men. Hmmm.

She went on to tell me how much she loathed her freckles and how she had been determined since she was a teenager to not let any of her freckles show. She avoids the sun like the plague. I also learned that she has naturally curly hair that she blows out straight every single day. And that she has a 14 year old daughter who is gorgeous and going to Asia to model this summer, but only after she gets rid of her "ice cream butt" because she's not skinny enough.

Good stuff as per usual, thanks. I do hope this kind of thing gets more exposure.
