I can think of a few:

Poison oak does not think X is evil.

Its real name, toxicodendron diversilobum is not a screen name.

It attacks all people without regard to political affiliation.

Poison oak is a very important food plant to almost all animals- except perhaps domestic swine. It is also useful in ground stability and limits soil erosion. The native Americans were not, Mr X thinks, allergic to it. He says almost all herbivorous animals can eat some part of it.

Is poison oak sometimes called poison sumac? We've got a lot of it growing in our yard (or trying to). It's terribly invasive and smells skunky when cut.
