m00n Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 This is what happens when my wife gets a hold of an electric weed eater. I can't even think of anything to say. What a dork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Oh boy, that looked like it hurt! I know I had my share of close calls with the weed-eater, but nothing like that (and I have one of those heavy-duty gas powered ones!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 m00n,I think she needs the hair of the dog,she has probably learned to respect weedwacker,maybe no skill saws though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorius Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 m00n, My wife did the same thing with a gas powered weed eater. Not quite as bad though. Why is it that women want to run power equipment in shorts and sandals? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluless Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 m00n, If you had bought her one of these for mother's day, she might not have resorted to the weed wacker. On the other hand, if you had given her a razor on mom's day, she might have taken the wacker to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 About 15 years ago I was in front of a friend's house (like we have been doing since about 1977) and there was a rather drunk man a few doors down that was very agitated and had the back doors to his van open doing something with it's cargo. His wife came outside to try to calm him down and it only made things worse. He follows her into the yard to get her to go back in the house and she refused and said she would call the police to take him into custody so he can sober up. The man goes back to the van to look for some sort of a weapon. We thought it would be a crow bar or a ball bat, common weapons in this neck of the woods. After searching for a minute he comes out with a gas powered weed-wacker. His wife starts laughing at him and that just made him even more angry. All we could hear him yelling was "I'll cut a m-f'n cop up God-d***-it! I'll cut one up!!" We laugh about that to this day. Ah, the old neighborhood...well, before all the Section 8 housing people moved in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I was considering responding to Clu's post, with a suggestion for another battery-operated device as a Mother's Day present, but seeing as this is a family show, and it strays from the subject... fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horonzak Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 MOON...Kiss that BOO BOO & Wipe her tears. Shame on you trying to help in the yard. She was only trying to lighten your yard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 Yeah... Kiss her boo boo. I am more likely to slap it with a wooden spoon. Oh and she didn't have any tears, but her heart was racing I can asure you. She should not have been doing it in the first place. I was BBQing on the barbie and needed her help in the kitchen. (right where she belongs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Moon, This is your fault!!!!! Your place of employment would be disappointed in you in not sharing your sfety training. just kidding Safely glasses, long pants and work boots should be worn while using powered yard tools. One day this winter I came home and there was 18 inches of bark missing from a tree near the drive way. Just happens the snow blower has a mouth of 18 inches, hummmmm. Hope your wife is healing well.
