aboz56 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Some of you may not think this is funny, but oh well. I thought it was pretty hilarious. So we got a lot of snow down here in Louisville last night. I probably shoveled the driveway 5 times yesterday and then once again this morning. So as I was shoveling this morning at 7am, I look across the street. 2 male "partners" live at the house. One was trying to help the other get his car out of the garage out of the driveway, which is a bit hilly. First, he started using a broom to try to brush the snow away. Keep in mind this is about 12-14 inches of snow. After the guy realizes he isn't doing a damn thing, he decides he is going to be a hero. The moron fires up the LAWNMOWER. Never in my 22 years of existence have I heard of the lawnmower as a snow removal device. He proceeds to "mow" the driveway for about 10 mintues and the whole time I am laughing my ass off along with my mother. Finally he stopped and I turned to my mom, she was laughing hysterically, to which I then asked her if they were going to bag the snow. Obviously, they weren't, but I just found this pretty damn funny that someone would opt for the lawnmower over the conventional snow shovel.

Soxy Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 But did the lawnmower *work*? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 I was actually going to help them get out until I saw them bring out the lawnmower. Then I realized that no person who tries to clear their snow covered driveway with a lawnmower should be on the roads under these conditions.

LosMediasBlancas Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Wonder if that has more to do with them being from Louisville rather than them being 'partners'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yeah, everybody at work wants to know too. Hell no, it didn't work, it kept dying. That may be part of the reason I was about on the ground with laughter. I don't recommend trying it at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I think the real problem isn't that the "partners" couldn't get the snow cleared. It's just that the ragtop Miata is a b**** to start in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
