Somehow, the post had gotten into the weave of the fence. How, I don���t know. There ain���t no way it could!

He wants to know how much it would cost to repair the chain link. He kicks the mower and says, ���You S.O.B., this is your last warning. I���ll trade you in, you give me any more trouble! You hear me?��� It must of heard him, cause it cranked right up! I turn my own mower on its side for five minutes and all my oil comes pouring out the exhaust.
