I wonder if they remove them when 0bama visits Hawaii?

A couple selected google items:

Are 150 people killed each year by falling coconuts?

What is the Average annual death by coconut?

It turns out that medical literature includes a few reports of injuries inflicted by falling coconuts, but no deaths by coconut.

Look for an article some time next week (or after Barry runs out of decent golf courses) about how the poor are being impacted due to the shortage of available coconuts.  Of course, he'll be long gone by then.
