That's almost the first thing I thought. My first thought was that the Yankees had been on the losing end of one of those decisions.

A friend of mine who works for a big firm as a librarian told me to consider that every time I saw a caution on a power tool or some other bit of equipment it meant that someone somewhere was dumb enough to actually do that and lived to sue and win. He's sent me links to info about some of the cases and I'm just amazed the stuff people actually have to be warned against. (Don't use the lawnmower as a hedge trimmer

I think that's my favorite)

Did I just say Hedge trimmer ??? I'm sorry I meant to say hedge hog....although in comparing the two photos I think they qualify for a "seperated at birth" ...

Like most everyone, I mowed lawns as a teenager. I once showed up at this woman's house and she wanted me to edge her lawn. So she gave me a weed-eater to do it with. It was a disaster and I ruined the tool. I'm glad she didn't have any other power-tools - I might have killed myself.
