As I was mowing the yard today, I thought of something that I had always taken for granted. Lawn-mowers are a kind of "man-vacuum." We, as men, use this tool not only to shorten the grass, but we also use it to pick up debris that happen upon the green fields of our domains. It's funny really. I will push my mower over and over a bit of leaves, sticks, garbage, or whatever may be in my yard, trying to suck it up into the bag. Just like with a real vacuum (and I KNOW you know what I am talking about here...) I will push it and push it over the item in question rather than bend over and pick up said debris. Over and over. It may take 10 times as long to do it that way, but I do not care. I for some reason, will not simply pick up the junk...
