Birch and a Beech Tree Joke
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

Recently had an epiphany realizing yet another clever way, as well as the continued telling of a favorite joke most have already heard, able demonstrating in a different way what I believe far more likely the underlying meaning behind Jesus use of the trinity.
Again I tell you...
Jesus was not claiming to be God when referring to himself as the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Instead,
sum of his parents in his father's absence;
bastard man-son 12 y.o. until his crucifixion.
SON'S A SON UNTIL HE GETS HIM A WIFE.
DAUGHTER'S A DAUGHTER ALL HER LIFE.
The Father most likely Joseph, the parental father, the one Jesus crediting being most responsible shaping his moral character as his role model; whomever it was providing the Jesus egg with it "Y" chromosome not being important.
The Holy Ghost representing the essence of his mother Mary during a time when women had no voice in politics; not even much input when determining their fates from within their own families.
Well this little joke questioning the origin of a little Ash tree fits in perfectly with the trinity.

bastard man-son 12 y.o. until his crucifixion.

Well this little joke questioning the origin of a little Ash tree fits in perfectly with the trinity.
Should it matter that the little Ash tree is neither the Son of a Beech nor the Son of a Birch?
Growing in such close proximity with two other much larger tree, it might as well be both Son of a Beech and Son of a Birch as it will be these two much larger tree determining how much light reaches this little Ash tree as well as from what direction; how fast it will grow as well as in the direction of any space available from which the light is able reaching this little Ash tree.
Now lets say, twelve years from now one of these two large tree, the Beech tree, blows over in a terrible storm. The little Ash tree is now able, not only receiving more light, but also more room in which to grow faster, fuller, and a bit more taller as opposed to having to grow at an angle.
The same as it was with Joseph, the presence of this Beech tree the first twelve years is just as important to the life story of this little Ash tree the same as the absence of this Beech tree from this point on is now also important.
Many years down the road, in the same way Jesus claimed to be the sum of his parents in his father's absence, this Ash tree can now claim to be the sum of these two, once much larger trees, now missing a Beech tree.
