Answers from Mr Answer

Today I branch out into the advice column game. The Times Online columnist Eco Worrier tried to answer this question:

How can I persuade my husband to use a push mower?

The Times suggest that she manipulate him.

Target his weakness. Is he a touch sensitive about his growing tummy? Point out that according to Which? magazine, cutting a lawn with a push mower allows a 60kg person to burn 360 calories an hour. If your husband counts the pennies, emphasise that it costs an average of 20p every 100ml of fuel for a mower with a petrol tank and about 4p for every 20 minutes that you use a 1700W electric mower.

Thank you for playing, but that is not correct. Mr Answers says if you think a push mower is worth pushing, remove ass from chair and push it your own damn self.

    Excuse me dear Editor,

    This my first letter to you, restricted greatly, as you will see, by the “family friendly rule” here. Don’t misunderstand, I fully support the rule.

    Dear Editor,

    I would like to suggest that this be moved from the “General” category to the “Humor” category. This is rootin’ tootin’ hilarious.

    Fine Work,

    We have a saying down here, “If you’re too busy to go fishing, you are just too busy.”

    I have come fishing here all week, but not a bite. Better just go to work.
