Although I am in total agreement about the environmental damage done by the
obsessive grass growers, I can't get rid of it all. I mean, where would I jack
up a car or truck when I need to fix it?
Question: How do you spot an affluent redneck?
Answer: He's got TWO cars jacked up in his front yard.
I just tuned up my Stihl and sharpened the chain, but the goat ran away, so I'm
not sure what to do about the kudzu.
