> In the Solomon Islands in the south Pacific some villagers practice a

> 
> If a tree is too large to be felled with an axe, the natives cut it down
> by yelling at it. (Can't lay my hands on the article, but I swear I read
> it.) 
> 
> Woodsmen with special powers creep up on a tree just at dawn and suddenly
> scream at it at the top of their lungs. They continue this for thirty
> days. The tree dies and falls over. The theory is that the hollering kills
> the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works. 
> 
> Ah, those poor nave innocents. Such quaintly charming habits of the
> jungle. Screaming at trees, indeed. How primitive. Too bad thay don't have
> the advantages of modern technology and the scientific mind. 
> 
> Me? I yell at my wife. And yell at the telephone and the lawn mower. And
> yell at the TV and the newspaper and my children. I've been known to shake
> my fist and yell at the sky at times. 
> 
> Man next door yells at his car a lot. And this summer I heard him yell at
> a stepladder for most of an afternoon. We modern, urban, educated folks
> yell at traffic and umpires and bills and banks and machines--especially
> machines. Machines and relatives get most of the yelling. 
> 
> Don't know what good it does. 
> 
> Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking doesn't always help. 
> 
> As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at
> living things does tend to kill the spirit in them.

> Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts
