It was just like a scene from the Sopranos except I was dismembering a  Christmas tree instead of Richie Aprile’s body

It was just like a scene from the Sopranos except I was dismembering a Christmas tree instead of Richie Aprile’s body. I took my 11.8 amp DeWalt reciprocating saw and trimmed the bottom branches off. I unscrewed the tree stand bolts and dragged the dead body out onto the deck. I then cut the tree in three and threw the pieces off of the deck towards the fire pit below. Thoughts raced through my mind of the CSI team spraying a form of luminol that detects fir tree sap. I was doomed! Needles were everywhere! I Shop-Vac’ed for hours and mopped but the needles kept reappearing. Segue. I had this idea for a TV show. I think they should mix the Sopranos with CSI. It just bothers me to see these mafia guys kill off eachother so sloppily. The CSI team would have found Ralph Cifaretto’s blood all over his kitchen where he was killed. Everyone knows that bleach can’t hide blood stains from the luminol.
