It's funny, a neighbor had me cut their eucalyptus down, then it grew back from the stump and I had to cut it again a couple years later. Then I has to cut it again a few years after that. Now it looks like I'm going to have to cut it again soon. It's become a running joke at this point.

Those things are tough, and they grow really fast in the right climate.

Drill some holes in the stump and pour in some weed killer/diesel/creosote.

@dang, I wish we had more time to edit our posts.

That clause reminded me of Popeye's "I can't stands no more" and I took it as an expression of considerable annoyance along with a sense of humor.
