I found out today that tree surgeons refuse to trim hedges

Posted on June 29, 2025 by Joke Poo

Apparently it's beneath them

Okay, here’s my attempt at "Joke Poo," riffing on your tree surgeon joke:

Joke Poo: Plumbing Pride

I learned that master plumbers won’t unclog shower drains…

Apparently, they consider it beneath them to deal with hairballs.

Alright, let’s dissect this arboreal jest!

Joke Analysis:

  • Setup: "I found out today that tree surgeons refuse to trim hedges" – This establishes the premise, introduces a profession (tree surgeon), and presents a seemingly unusual situation.
  • Punchline: "Apparently it’s beneath them" – This delivers the humor through a pun. "Beneath them" refers both to the lower height of hedges compared to trees and to a sense of professional superiority. The core humor lies in the dual meaning and the unexpected personification of a profession.

Key Elements:

  • Tree Surgeons: Specialists in the care and maintenance of trees, often working at considerable heights and dealing with complex botanical and structural issues.
  • Hedges: Carefully cultivated rows of shrubs used as boundaries, decorations, or for privacy. They typically require regular trimming to maintain their shape.
  • Hierarchy/Prestige: The joke relies on the assumption that some jobs are considered more prestigious or difficult than others, leading to a perceived hierarchy.
  • Pun/Double Entendre: The punchline relies heavily on wordplay, the phrase "beneath them" having two meanings that are equally applicable and bring the joke home.

Humorous Enrichment and New Content Creation:

Okay, let’s amplify the funny with a touch of arboricultural trivia and a dash of observational humor:

Option 1: Amplified Joke:

"I tried to hire a tree surgeon to trim my hedges. He scoffed, ‘Hedges? That’s like asking a neurosurgeon to unclog a toilet! You’re asking me to bring a chainsaw to a butter knife party!"

(Explanation: We’ve heightened the perceived difference in skill/complexity between the two tasks.)

Option 2: "Did You Know" (With a Twist):

"Did you know that the oldest tree surgeon on record lived to be 120 years old? It’s true! He claimed his longevity was due to spending so much time outdoors and breathing fresh air. However, his son maintains that his father never actually trimmed a tree in his life. He mostly just supervised the hedge trimming, muttering about how it was ‘beneath him’ and how the younger apprentices weren’t using proper hedge shears to achieve the perfect, crisp line. The son is now a qualified hedge trimmer, has written books about it and loves his job"

(Explanation: Playing on the "beneath them" idea, adding a surprising claim and humorous exaggeration.)

Option 3: Observational Humor:

"You know you’ve hit middle age when you find yourself genuinely excited about finding the perfect electric hedge trimmer. Suddenly, achieving a perfectly manicured boxwood becomes more important than, say, existential dread or saving the planet. Ironically, the same people who spend hours meticulously shaping their hedges are the ones who complain about the lack of individuality in modern society. You cannot have it both ways."

(Explanation: Connects the joke’s premise to broader, relatable themes of aging and societal norms.)
