No Mower for You

Headline: Bat, Trimmer, Hammer Used in Lawn Brawl

FRUIT COVE, Fla. - The supervisor went for a bat. The employee whipped out a weed trimmer. Another worker used a hammer to break up the fight.

The safety gloves were off when the supervisor criticised the grass-cutting skills of one of his workers. Exactly how much skill is required to cut grass? It can't be that hard, 10 year old boys do it all of the time!

As far as using equipment as weapons, I get the weed eater concept. Getting hit with one of those would be like getting 100 mph papercuts all over your body - and that would just hurt. Although, it would've been a pain to repeatedly hit it on the ground to make sure the twine was long enough.

Even a leaf blower would've come in handy - send his ass tumbling faster than Boy George. I could even see throwing a bag of fertilizer on the opponent, mix that with the sprinkler system and you'd have some worthy Dixie Wrestling action on your hands.

But what I don't understand is the bat. Why in the hell would lawn care technicians have a bat in their inventory?

Troublesome weeds? Bash 'em in the head - Shaun style. (ow)

It's a good thing the police arrived before the hedge trimmers could be employed or I would imagine they would've all ended up looking something like this...
