The Funny Lawn Care Fellow of facebook


I saw this ad on facebook this morning and it caught my attention so forcefully that I had to copy it and put it here.

First off, could he not really have come up with a more interesting name than "The Lawn Coach?" How about "Snappy the Lawn Jockey" or "The Nut Grass Nut-Job." The name he has might work if he at least looked irreverent or off-kilter. I don't know, perhaps his shirt could say something like, "I whack more than weeds," or (hold on to your boots for this one) instead of an arrow through his head it could look like he has a mower blade wedged in his skull. Something off-kilter like that. Anything would be better than him grimacing in his white crew neck undershirt.

And just exactly how irreverent is this lawn care advice going to be? "Wait 'til you hear his bit on mulching. You're gonna die!"

One more thing, we should all be clear that the irreverent advice offered applies only to home lawns. Don't click the link expecting to see some humorous take on mowing parking lot islands or core aerating football fields.
