When you start a new job always watch to see how the fattest guy in the place does things. He will know the easiest way. Come to think of it I’ve always had new people watching me at work.
If you burn them in the grill neither the local authorities or HOA will harass you as they think you can’t cook, rather than you are violating the ordinances.
Pollution laws aside, that was a solution done in a “similar” way not so long ago, so it’s really not new but is still probably illegal in most jurisdictions. I was a pretty good lawyer in my time if you need some advice or bail my friend….
…about the only downside to that idea is that you’ve probably got way more leaves than space in the grill. It’d take quite some time. But you’d stay warm doing it, and ash is good fertilizer; just ask the Native Americans who used slash-and-burn field management.

That’s where things like Uber-eats come from.

Good for you Brutus!!! But in my city, if you burn leaves out in your back yard, expect a “visit” from the PO-PO and the fire brigade!!!
:-O

I was wondering about the pollution factor!

The effort needed to lift those pills of leaves into the grill is as great as the effort to bag them. And then you have to clean up the grill.

If true, he would have left the leaves to rot.

Loved the smell of burning leaves. Back in the early sixty’s. When i was young and it was still legal.

When it comes to laziness, she’s no layabout.

Typical Brutus, unorthodox though it is sort of innovative…

hope he don’t get in trouble. I thought burning leaves was illegal… maybe no one would notice… I wonder what leafy fire taste on food?

I believe Benjamin Franklin attributed his creativity to his laziness.

All progress is because lazy (me) people don’t want to work hard. Ditch digger—> becomes back hoe, etc.

It’s ingenious until a big gust of wind blows burning leaves all over the neighborhood…

People burning leaves is what killed the dinosaurs. Do we want that to happen again???

Only Brutus Thornapple would in one fell swoop of laziness, not only annoy the rest of the neighborhood, but help to pollute his neighborhood as well.

I think its a great idea Brutus! I wish I’d thought of that years ago.

I would think laziness would be a good reason why people invented labor saving devices such as the washing machine, dryer, vacuum and dishwasher

I think Gladys didn’t want to cook dinner and was hoping Brutus had a plan for cooking.

If you want to easiest solution to a problem, get a lazy person to figure it out.

It may not global warming, but it does pollute. Similar to being down wind of a wildfire. It is unhealthy.
Buckeye67 over 1 year ago
Actually it sounds like more work than just raking the leaves into piles. Well, if Brutus came up with good ideas he wouldn’t be the Born Loser.
bigplayray over 1 year ago
Butt… Butt… You’re still raking, picking them up and putting them into a receptacle Brutus!

The last line makes a good point. I would think people that are workaholics rarely try to invent something that would make their work easier.

i’ll have to suggest this method to our addled neighbor who likes to burn big piles of grass out in the open when the wind’s brisk off the ocean…
