[shu-] Sherlock is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house looking for some 树 trees. There is a big 树 tree growing out the tile in front of the toilet, and he uses a 寸 caliper to cut it down. As it falls, he yells "TIMBER!!!", and the 树 tree falls onto a 又 folding stool that was in its path, crushing it. Sherlock in a past life was actually an English lumberjack.
