Flocking around the Christmas Tree

So we bought this thing called a “flocked tree” and I was thinking…someday I would love to Meet the Flockers. Who are these people that put flock – some sort of glue like substance that mimics snow- on the trees? I decided to build a set of questions to ask about these mysterious creatures and the practice of flocking, should I ever get the opportunity:

• Do you call a group of them a flock?

• Do they toil, tirelessly, working day and night, i.e. do they flock around the clock?

• If stores are sold out of these trees, does that mean people were flocking to buy them?

• If they run out of material does that mean the flock was out of stock?

• When the flockers leave work, do they have to flock out?

• What about the security of their factory, do they have to lock the flock?

• If I got a chance I’d like to ask them all kinds of other things about flock that I can’t post on here because of… well let’s just say I take no responsibility for other people’s flocking related imaginations.
