Our HOA sent us a letter about the weeds in our yard. The weeds came into our yard from the common area that the HOA maintains.

Who do you think should do something about the weeds?

Yes, they are, and you’ll be getting my bill!

We had a neighbour just like him when I was a kid. Blamed the neighbours for everything wrong with HIS yard. He even went as far as throwing bleach onto bushes that came too close to his fence (the bushes that were not his). If a leaf touched the fence it was chopped. He was a weirdo. :P

green·fly (grēn"flī′)

They’re yours to keep

Little rascals, they never listen when I tell them to stay off.

Wait until the ‘horse’ flies arrive. Then he’ll have something to worry about.

We have cluster flies alas

And this time of year is bad

We are so very sorry

There is little we can do but swat them

- Marshall / Anastasio

Listen to the man with empathy.

How do know that they are his greenflies?

He can tell they are his greenflies because of the ID tags

You can’t tell, but he’s about to break into aphid of laughter.

He trained them to do that.

You’re holding the rake, tell him to f u c k off…

“Check for any documentation proving my ownership and I’ll see what I can do.”

Dang that guy is big!

Say what?! Spray’em with soapy,oily water.
