Fred Basset by Alex Graham for August 26, 2024

He’s in trouble if he used his dominate hand.

That man has to get ahold of his temper. He’s going to get an ulcer…or worse.

He’s not the first man I’ve known of to do something incredibly stupid like that in a fit of anger, and I have never known it to help nor has it made anyone feel better only worse as broken things have had to be set, cut things bandaged, etc.. Must be a guy thing.

I’ve had so many people come in with a lawnmower that won’t start, when asked to demonstrate how they were trying to start it they hadn’t pulled in brake. It helps to read the handbook.

Most guys don’t wear a dark suit to mow the lawn.

Oh Dear, Dear! Fred, it’s a good thing you stayed calm and not made a fuss when your Mr. Dear threw a fit. You and your friends Jock and Yorky are the best dogs I know ;-D

There are times when it is best to just walk away …. And come back later ;-)

do what I do.

KICK it!

I’m intrigued that he changed clothes before letting her bandage him.

Which is why I now use an electric mower, it always starts!

No issue with electrics.

My dad used to buy the cheapest mowers when I was growing up. I always fought to start them, he’d get home from work and they’d start on the first pull. I believe they were evil and possessed.

So now he will have plenty of time to ponder the many other ways to vent his frustration. Hopefully, Mrs. Dear will hire someone to do the yard while she brings the machine to the shop.

Looks like the mower won!

Shouldn’t Mr. Dear be in emergency care?

did it fly across the yard. would explain why he needed it bandaged up. :J

Awww…

My lawnmower shelled out after hitting a tree root. I rebuilt it with a new short block and planned to replace it when that dies. It has since started on the first pull for 8 years.

And did it start after you punched it?

Drat that ole’ mower!

Why is Fred smiling?

When did Mr Dear get so nasty and mean
