"The retired Mohel" joke

When Rabbi Levy retired, the congregation decided to plant a tree on the shul grounds in commemoration of his years of service.
At the Board meeting, someone suggested an oak tree, because the rabbi grew the congregation from a little "acorn". Someone else, a critic of the rabbi, suggested a locust, a reference to one of the plagues in Exodus. As the discussion became heated, the gabbai spoke up.
"None of you mentioned the rabbi's service as a mohel," he said, "so why not plant an appropriate tree?"
"So what do you have in mind?" the president asked.
Meyer pulled out a nursery catalog. "Right here, a tree. A you-clipped-us."
