Lawnmowers and Soul, a rant by Jam

Lawnmowes can be great and they can be amazingly crap. Don't get me wrong they are very useful and some of them are awesome, like the self propelled ones and the cool ride on ones but these are extremely expensive. I used to own a old Honda 2 stroke mower that lasted 25 years!The only problem with it was it was impossible to start; a fact that is not helped by the ironic tag on the fuel tank saying Honda, easy start mower. If you have ever tried to start my mower you would know it is imposible to start it without reducing your pelvis to dust.So recently I got a new one and I don't really like it. It just hasn't got the soulof the old mower. Don't get me wrong it runs brillantly, so much better than my old one, but things than run better than my old mower include, the Bin Laden hotline and the Gold Coast bus network. But ask yourself this question, when did humans decide that our frontyard fields have to be trimmed? Why do we mow, really it is stupid!

And now some Germans have made it even stupider! They have created a mower that weighs 100 tonnes and trims your entrire acearge in 2 seconds it costs 1.9 million euros and is as useless as a turd.

The Verdict:  If you want a mower buy a 25 year old one that cannot start.
