Homeowners association upset about colorless trees.

A local upstate New York man came under fire from his homeowners association yesterday after he fined for his trees not having colorful autumn leaves.

Bylaw 18 on a list of about 4 million other HOA bylaws states the following:

"18. Property owners under HOA control must ensure that the trees located on a tenants lawn be full of color during the fall season. If your trees do not display colorful yellow, orange and red leaves, you will need to dye the leaves in a realistic manner or you will be fined 50 dollars a day for noncompliance."

The owner of the property was unable to comply after the leaves on his trees fell early this season.

"I have no way of putting leaves back on my trees, not to mention the leaves were brown before they fell to the ground. This fine is outrageous as I cannot simply harness the power of nature to regrow all those leaves."

The HOA president, Alphonso Snoodyman had hard words for the homeowner.

"The resident has had ample time to shop at the local Hobby Lobby and buy artificial leaves of autumn colors. All this disrespectful criminal of a man had to do was tie each leaf individual to the trees and make them look natural!"

Alphonso Snoodyman made the local news last year after creating a new bylaw that stated that the snow in all the community's yards must be leveled off at 4 inches. Violators who did not bring their snow to the proper level, while keeping the process looking natural were fined and were forced into foreclosure.

A new bylaw is now in the works allowing the HOA to punish any disobedient residents by executing their firstborn child.

"This is necessary to ensure the beauty of our community."

I'm guessing the homeowners must then bleach the blood of the dead child out of the carpet or face heft fines?
