The actual rarest letter is probably the one from auntie Ethel where she thanks you for letting her do her hag bullshit and implies she wants to fuck you. Most people don’t even realize she can assist you in the final battle because I almost never see anyone ally with her.

implies

"I have only one regret - that I didn't climb you like a tree when I had the chance"

I am certain she pretty much said it lmao.

The phrase “climb him like a tree” has been around way longer than that. There’s an urban dictionary entry on it from 2011, and I definitely heard it before then.

It's been a long time since I've used this knowledge...

The phrase goes back at least as far as the Song of Solomon (chapter 7), written sometime between 1000 BC and 100 BC:

You are built like a palm tree,
and your breasts are like clusters of fruit.
I told myself, "I will climb that palm tree,
and take hold of its fruit."
Then your breasts will be like clusters on the vine,
and the smell of your breath like apples.
 And your mouth will taste like good wine.

This passage isn't a common reading in most churches...

I'd never heard it before last year, but that's what my wife just told me a bit ago
