Not quite.
One needs to stand in a puddle of used SAE 30 twirling a holed piston on a broken transmission belt around your head chanting
" Repairs are not maintanance"
Black fellas did not bother with mowers, they burned the pastures to promote new grass growth.
In fact they managed to do with nothing more than a few leafy branches what we white fellas can not with 3 skycranes, 2000 water bombing aircraft, 6000 fire trucks with pumps & flashing lights, complex national communications systems and satelite surveys,,,, stop 1/2 the bloody country burning every summer.
We had a comic writer who used to poke fun at the black / white culture incompatabilites but the PC crowd closed it down
Jollif did a big work with a couple of Lubras standing with their woven baskets full of bush tucker watching the minister ( wearing appropriate dog collar ) swearing at his lawn mower.
The caption goes " don't understand Pastor's lawn. First he smother it with bird poo, then he drown it with water and when it finally grow he chops it all off with the mower"
There used to be a framed copy of this in almost every mower shop when I wore short pants.
But we are digressing quite a ways from the mower hanging on the compression stroke.
