Roadblock

I went out to run some errands but couldn't get past the tree in my driveway. What was a tree doing in my driveway? Not the hokey-pokey, that's for sure.

I went back to the house to alert the resident woodsman.

"There's a tree in the driveway," I said.

"A what?"

"A tree," I said, "in the driveway."

"I'll take care of it," he said.

"Better take your chainsaw."

"Nah, I'll just shove it out of the way."

"Trust me," I said. "You need the chainsaw."

He didn't need the chainsaw. He just shoved it out of the way--with a little help from the tractor. He'll need the chainsaw later to cut it up, but for now, it's enough just to get the tree out of the driveway--and if it wants to try doing the hokey-pokey, I don't intend to stand in its way.
