Heh!

Something like 15 years ago, I had a bunch of Samoan landscapers
remove several yuccas from my front yard. They were part of the
landscaping crew at Charlie Keating's Phoenician Resort doing a little
moonlighting in the suburbs.

Scared the cr@p out of me watching them. They wrapped one end of some
steel cable around the yucca, wrapped the other end around the hitch
on the back of their truck, and put 'er in gear. I had visions of that
cable snapping and taking out the picture window directly behind the
plant. Guess they knew what they were doing though, they came right
out with only some minor ruts in the grass.
