There must be some kind of phallic undertone symbolism in yard maintenance.
The landscaping guy is out there with his leaf blower, as per usual for a Friday. The fact that the tree trimming crew is also out there seems not to deter him. Rather, he views it as a challenge, a throwing down the gauntlet of leafy masculinity.
He blows.
They whack.
He blows more.
They whack harder.
So far it's a standoff.
My money is on the leaf blower guy. Everyone knows guys are better at putting out a lot of hot air rather than going out on a limb.
My apologies to ye of the testicle-bearing variety of reader. You know I adore you all, no matter how big your roots are.
ROFLMAO!!!! ...no matter how big your roots are.
OMG - holding my sides - LeeAnn - I really really missed you while you were on vacation!

Now to be totally un-PC. Here in Phoenix I call it the “Mexican Blower Parade.” Each morning on the way to work I pass troops of Mexicans with blowers, blowing dirt, leaves, and trash back and forth along the street. I guess they have never heard of a BROOM. They blow the dirt and leaves back and forth until all the dirt is suspended in the air and the leaves are blown out into the street. Then they take off as fast as possible before the wind blows it all back onto the just cleared property. It’s called job security.
