Should I Shelter beneath a Coconut Tree?

We've all see those beautiful Tropical Coconut Tree Groves. Furthermore if we are from the Temperate lattitudes, we will be attracted to them like a House Fly to Poo Poo.

Well, I think that these pretty wee Groves are a tourist trap. First we are lured to the grove by its shear beauty. We then relax beneath it, in search of shelter from the Tropical Sun. And then BONK! And we have a lump on our head, or worse.

We all know a good coconut is a picked coconut, or even better a cocnut that is ready to eat, like the ones to your left.

Unique Suggestions: So If you do laze beneath a Coconut tree, Look Up! If you see that the Coconuts are old, and largely unpicked, don't sit there. It may seem silly, but it could save your life.

Fun Alternatives: If tree gazing is annoying perhaps you could wear a helmet. Hehe!
