nail Jell-O to a tree

to do something difficult or impossible, especially when there is no real point in doing so

DMZ

an area that is now peaceful but could become the sight of violence (from Demilitarized zone, the term form the area where a war was fought, used since the end of the Korean war. violence is often legally prohibited by an agreement in such frontiers or boundaries to promote peace and reduce the chance that the war could restart)

I was halfway through the DMZ when that weirdo showed up and asked for directions.

necktie

a noose, a hangman's rope, especially one procured with the intent of intimidation, or extralegal execution (effectively murder) of someone

The necktie was clearly intended for use in a hate crime.
