There are some things one should probably not admit to, but what the heck. I actually know somebody who drives his mower while drunk. \<snerk\> Maybe he’ll get a MWI (mowing while intoxicated) one day. \<snerk\> At least he only does it in his yard. He has a six pack cooler attached to the back of the seat. Loads it with beer and a mowin’ he goes!

He provides some good entertainment for my next door neighbor and me as we sit in the driveway in lawn chairs drinking beer and watching. Hey, it’s a hobby, ok? 😃

Does he mow in a straight line or does he leave unusual patterns???

I was thinking of that _Far Side_ where a dog has made a few curvy passes with a lawnmower and is looking up at his master, who is saying, “That’s a terrible job! No biscuit!”
