Re: Ouch!!!

When I was younger, my Mum & Dad used to make me mow the lawn. It's a fair sized garden and they've always had petrol mowers. One particular day I cut the grass and it hadn't been done for a couple of weeks which meant that I could only do about 2 lengths before I had to empty the bucket thing. The mower was a rotary one and the back had clogged up with grass. One of my mates was over helping out and I was so busy talking to him while I was trying to clear the grass blockage I didn't realize that I'd put my hand in the back of the mower too far (yes, I'd left the engine running but fortunately it was only ticking over, but the blade was still spinning) until it was too late. I've got some good scars on the fingers on my right hand.
