My Great-Aunt had a big tree in her yard and wanted it chopped down (in general it's not a good idea to plant trees close to your house as one day they will be big), and the guy that was going to chop it down was asking for $500 to chop it down, my great-aunt decided not to have it cut down.
Anyway a wind-storm came and blew the tree right out of its roots. Why pay $500 dollars to chop down a tree when you can let the wind do it for free!
