Somebody ‘splain this to me?

Me, too!

It’s a cell phone tower. It just looks like a palm tree.

thanks Neb’ - I didn’t get it either.

I didn’t get it either.

At least if he damages it, someone will come out to repair it

NebulousRikulau is absolutely right! I didn’t get it either, but I did find a photo of one on the net:

(You don’t see these in Ohio.)

This is a good one - some places won’t allow a cell phone tower to be erected unless it’s disguised, and some companies make it their sole business to build these. Many examples on the ‘net, of course.

Terran apes are so clever!

And after all that, the poor castaway *still got hit with roaming charges!

Probably a 3G tower too. Amazing that these towers can be found where nobody will even use them, but they seem to be missing from most place that we want to use them.
