Happy Birthday Rick.
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 she cannot tell. They argue all afternoon whether it is a son of a birch or a son of a beech Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says:
"Hey Woody, you're a tree expert. Can you end this argument and tell us if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He 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 put my pecker into."
