Mowing and Beer

On Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my lawn chair, drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn.

The neighbor lady from across the street was so outraged that she came
over and shouted at me,

"You should be hung!"

I took a drink from my can of Bud Light, wiped the cold foam from my
lips, lifted my darkened Ray Ban sunglasses and stared directly into the
eyes of this nosy ass neighbor and then calmly replied, "I am.

That's why she cuts the grass."

Re: Mowing and Beer

IIRC, you shouldn't be around mowers.

A lawn chair and a beer seems to be the best place for ya!

Great story/joke!

I agree. You should be hung for drinking Bud Light.

“Bud Light” that is the only thing on the planet that I am conscious of being superstitious of.

That’s it, I’ll bet that most of your calamities follow the use of Bud Light or being around one drinking it.

I use to wonder why the bizarre, the rare, the unheard of, the surreal, the dumbest things would happen to me, I found one correlation, “Bud Light“ was used by me or being used by another, ditch the Bud, drink panther pee, anything but Bud Light.

Re: Mowing and Beer

GAC- midway through reading your post, I was going to cut and paste what the neighbor said and tell you that what she said to you was insulting your..um...manhood and not referring to actually hanging you from a tree.

Then I finished up and laughed out loud. Terrific joke.

Re: Mowing and Beer

Slightly off topic:

There is nothing like a beer and listening to the Reds after I have mowed the grass.

Re: Mowing and Beer

Gee folks! It was a joke my brother sent me. Think about this... why would I be sitting in a lawnchair in the back yard in the middle of November in Ohio?

Plus - I don't have a push mower anymore. Remember? Fire - BOOM! - "STOP, DROP, AND ROLL DADDY!"

I may be stupid, but I'm not ignorant!

And I wouldn't be caught dead drinking a light beer.... even if it was free!

The part about being hung is the absolute truth though.

I dunno, Perhaps trying to get an early start on mole hunting season in Logan County ? Picking out just the right tree just in case Michigan wins a rematch ?

Because lawnchairs don't explode or fall out of trees?
