Tiger Woods and Raquel Welch are invited by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, to see how successful has been the BP oil cleanup.

As a gift to two of America’s best known celebrities, and to symbolise California’s new found hope, Arnie asks each of them to plant a tree on the shoreline.

He gives Tiger a shovel and an ebony tree, “because it is black and strong and represents everything tenacious about California. This is a new strain of ebony and shall henceforth be called Woods ebony”.

He then turns to Raquel and gives her a yew tree, “because it is tall and slender and representative of all that is beautiful about California. It too is a new strain and shall be named Welch yew.”

But just as the tree planting ceremony is coming to an end a huge tsunami strikes the California coastline breaking open the BP oil line again, flooding the coastline with sticky oil and washing the newly planted trees into the sea. All around is chaos, but as the sea subsides Tiger Woods rolls up his trousers and paddles in, pulling a small, black tree from the water.

“Look!” He exclaims, “Woods Ebony. Like me it has known devastation and disaster and yet it survives.”

But the governor shakes his head. “Sorry Tiger, that’s not Woods Ebony”.

Tiger Woods looks perplexed.

“It’s Welch yew tarred”.

No it isn't, it's very hard but very brittle

No it isn't, a yew tree is big and thick.
