Speaking of mowing the lawn.....
My dad has to hold some type of record. When it comes to mowing grass, he has had some experiences. Please indulge me...
We had a glass front storm door. He reminded me for weeks not to place the out chute from the mower facing the door. The ONE time he cut the grass, a rock went clean through it....
In ONE afternoon, he broke the windshield on our van, broke a window in our house, broke a tail light out of a truck, and then broke the mower....
My wife gave a pool party with some of her friends from work at my parents house. Dad CRASHES through the privacy fence by accident and one of the boards he broke at the bottom, hit him in the head! It was like a stooges film, the women freaked...
He buys a brand-new mower. 1800.00. He has me bring it home. I unload it off my trusty f-100, he gets on, goes around the house and hits a tree head-on.Not even 3 minutes! Says he was distracted....
Mowing by the pool and puts it in reverse by accident and nearly goes in the pool! (that one wasn't funny, it scared us)...
While mowing by some hay bales (round), he got too close and the exhaust ignited them!They burned for 3 days....
While mowing around the gazebo, he INFURIATED some wasps and they chased him off the mower!The mower kept right on going. Into the gazebo! He had me to disconnect the safety on the seat( I KNOW that's dangerous, but when dad tells you to do something) earlier because...
He hates to move a gargen hose. He keeps hoping that "just this once, the blades will clear" Result? Mower -6 garden hoses -0...
He bought a 420 John Deere tractor to mow the pasture. And a finishing mower that could mow Yankee Stadium in one pass. WAY too big for the tractor. Dang near went down an embankment into the lake...
The stories you've read are true. No names changed to protect the innocent 'cause everyone around here knows how he is. When he climbs onto the mower, my wife says to me, "Where are the kids?!"...
The family took bets (seriously) on how soon before the new mower would be in the shop. My wife won. Two weeks....
We call him, "911 waiting to happen"
