It wasn't straight.
After an hour of trimming the hedge was visibly higher at one end than the other.
He started to trim the offending parts and stepped back to admire his work.
Now the previously high end was too low. He trimmed a little more to even it out.
This went on for some time until he was finally satisfied that it was level.
His wife returned an hour later.
"What have you done to the hedge?" she asked him.
"Do you like it?"
"It's a bit low."
"Well it took me a while to get it properly level."
She glanced out of the window at a hedge that was incredibly level, but was now barely two inches from the ground.
