Just one I remember from not too long ago.
I went out to start my old Snapper lawn mower and the battery was dead.
I pulled the rope and the thing took off. I had left it in gear.
The back of the house stopped it with no damage to either.
My neighbor was watching laughing his *** off.

This is the reason they feel it necessary to include all the PITA safety features on all new mowers.
But there is one missing: About a year ago my neighbor was clearing out a stick or some debris from under his riding mower... it was still running at the time.
Fortunately his finger tip grew back with almost no deformity.

rich were asking for dumb *** moments, not "shouldnt be allowed to walk outside without a guardian because im a moron moment", im sure the guy is nice person but i probably wouldnt drive while hes driving. sorry if it sounds a little harsh but as soon as i read that i thought of the guy who picked up his lawn mower to cut his hedges.

Keith is a VERY nice guy and my best neighbor EVER. But I have to admit, that was one of the dumbest things I had ever heard of doing. I DO question his judgment sometimes.

No worries, Man. We're all human which in the end makes us all morons and all dead.
