How to look like a Dr. Seuss character

1. Stand on a step-ladder and saw off an overhead tree branch that you can just barely reach. (It hangs over several utility wires.)

2. Once the branch has been safely guided to the ground, get out your spray-can of Morrison’s Tree Seal.

3. Wait until a split-second before a gust of wind and then spray the tar-colored goo toward the saw cut.

4. When the wind blows some of it back in your face, you will now be a Speckled Something or Other.

5. Have antic adventures featuring lots of rhymes.
