Oooh good one!

Larry was also involved in the slill saw incident last Saturday.Loretta better hide his saw soon before he saws again.

That’s a pretty evil look from Loretta!

Larry just wanted better access to the garden, and he did it, all by himself.

You guys think his two middle fingers are just folded around that cord, don’t you?

Henceforth Larry is not to be permitted anywhere near tools, power or otherwise.

but Liverlips…Larry is a tool.

Larry is just practicing, and Loretta knows exactly what for. That is why she is only giving him “the look”.Discretion is the better part of valor. Or velour for that matter.

Looks like he can run the power saw just fine…

The unwanted shortcut to the lawn mower.

Well, we know he can do that!

He could have sworn that section had a post under it. He forgot he removed it when the dog got too wide.

I had a neighbor like Larry. Whenever he got into close proximity to a power tool, disaster was sure to follow. One time his power mower “got away from him” and destroyed another neighbor’s newly planted hedge.

H had one of those weed wackers that had ‘’permanent’ metal strings rather then the plastic coil of string ( he somehow wrecked 3 of the other kind ). Those metal cutters were not so permanent for him. One snapped off and ricochet’d off a rock and broke his plate glass window.

Normally, all repairs in his house were done by his wife. She wouldn’t trust him with a screwdriver !

“No Larry squeezing the cord does not stop the electricity from getting to the saw……just release the trigger. AND stay away from my chair!”
