Geez John, I know you don't believe that, but keep repeating it and
someone may. It's an urban legend. It never happened. It does, however,

Whats wrong with using a lawn mower as a hedge trimmer? Where is your
sense of adventure? Tommorrow go out and give it a try, you can't keep
yourself tied up in bubble wrap and enjoy life.

As I was wrong with the initial comment, I may do it just so I can sue and
lend credibility to my statement. The hard part is deciding which finger(s)
to part with.
