Comments

One of my favorite pastimes is to read online news stories and then scroll to the bottom of the article and read the readers comments. I read an article about a guy here in SLC who tried to attack his family with a Chainsaw. When the chainsaw wouldn't start he picked up a weed whacker which also wouldn't start. When that failed he got in his car and tried to run them over, problem was it took him long enough to get the keys and get in and get it started that his family walked inside and called the cops. I realize the subject matter isn't funny at all, but the outcome is kinda funny...c'mon admit it...anyway, the comments of the story were pretty funny. One person commented that is why he does yearly maintenance on his yard equipment, "they always start on the first or second pull". Another person posted something about devine intervention, that a "higher force" prevented the yard equipment from starting. One person responded to that comment and said the higher force was called oxidation. Another called the higher force fouled spark plugs. And a third person said it was high gas prices, cracks me up!

Well I guess I better get going. I was having trouble with my chainsaw the other day and I just couldn't get it started. I pulled and pulled the cord an it just wouldn't go, so I had to use the weed whacker, but again it wouldn't start, so I had to drive to The Home Depot....I couldn't figure out why my family was running away from me as fast as the could.

that's a great story... it should definitely be a boner candidate on x96's radio from hell show if it wasn't already.
