The Piney Christmas Tree Spirit

Woman: Hey, careful guys! I don't want anything to happen to my new Christmas tree... or my furniture.

Bert: Don't worry. Nothing will happen, lady. Just tell us where you want it.

Barney: Oh, watch it, Bert - you're sticking me with pine needles.

Woman: Put it there in the corner, please.

Bert: Oh, in the corner, right. Ow, watch where you're going, Barney.

Barney: How can I watch where I'm going when I can't see where I'm going!

Woman: Guys, guys! It's Christmas - don't fight!

Bert and Barney: Who's fighting?

Bert: Is this where you want the Christmas tree?

Barney: Look, I've got sap all over my shirt!

Bert: You are a sap, Barney.

Barney: Oh, yeah? Well, let me tell you...

Woman: Guys, guys please - it's Christmas.

Bert: Oh, really? It must have slipped 1 my mind.

Woman: Why are you two in such bad moods? "'Tis the season to be jolly 2", the Christmas spirit, peace on earth?

Bert: Yeah, sure, lady. You deliver a load of sticky 3, pointy pine trees and see how you feel!
