Ha! My brother called last night and asked if he could borrow our pushmower.
He came and picked it up this morning and I told him he has to count and tell me how many pulls it takes HIM to start it!
(He has a flat driveway though and will not have gravity on his side, so he may be at a small disadvantage.)
Maybe for fun this summer I can take the pushmower around on a "Start the Lawnmower Tour". I could give out prizes for those who can start it in one, prize for the most pulls to start it, prize for anyone who hits themselves in the teeth or otherwise injures themselves, best form and style while starting....
Edited to add: Be sure to read the first comment below - it's from my brother...

ReplyDeleteI guess I would be the DB?
I'm trying to picture the leg on mower pushing while pulling string and moving downhill. That sounds like something my cousins would try...after refreshment. - DSIL
ReplyDeleteMaybe at the next family gathering I should show off my style and technique and maybe someone can tell me WHAT I'M DOING WRONG! GAH!!!
