Honey locust to be more specific! Native Americans used them for sewing needles.

They will also aim for you jugular while on a riding mower.

As I’m sure you know, the seed pods were crazy big too! Makes for good maracas!

And pop your mower tires when you run them over

Every vehicle on our farm has or needs slime in it's tires because of those fucking things.

Luckily I've not had that yet. But my first time mowing a property didn't realize there was one on the wood line. Cutting away I ran smack into a low branch. Plenty of cursing and puling a few broken tips from my arms and shoulder. I didn't realize there was a good 1/4 inc of one stuck in my neck. Shave a week later and noticed what I thought was an ingrown hair on my neck. To my surprise a larg chunk of one of those thorns shot out when I squeezed it.

Brutal. I had one go through the ankle of my muck boot which sucked quite a bit.

Google mesquite trees
Edit: apparently that's the same tree as honey locust.

Yeah it was a definite surprise to see that thing shoot out. I don't think any interaction with them is considered fun
