The MADA tree, the top branch has not yet fully grown, that's why it is shorter than the middle one.
The SUE tree, however, the top branch has grown all the way to the tip, which is why it's LONGER than the middle one!
Unlike the trees,the husband has NOTHING BETWEEN HIS LEGS, so that's how you can remember him. (FYI they say his wife cut his pecker off . . .after catching him fucking the tree) (birch!)
