News, Police: Florida Man Arrested for Attacking Father With Christmas Tree.
PARRISH, Fla. — Authorities say a west Florida man who lives with his parents has been arrested on a felony assault charge after he used a Christmas tree as a weapon to attack his father.
According to the Manatee County sheriff's report, 37-year-old Thomas Edward Lackie was arrested last week after he threw a 3-foot Christmas tree at his father. The tree missed, but Lackie then tried to use the steel base from the tree to strike his father.

Maybe his pop had a larch ego and kept needling him and he pined for a change? Or is his bark worst than his bite? Or was he just board and a little warped? I'm stumped. Either way it was a knotty thing to do and I hope they get to the root of the problem so everything can be oakey dokey.
