(10,749 posts)I do like my lawnmower. But I don't love my lawnmower. And I think my lawnmower is indifferent to me, but, then again, so are my wife and kids, so I'm not sure how that figures in.
So many questions:
** Can I have a human wife and a lawnmower wife, or do we first have to settle the slippery slope polygamy issue?
** Is it only lawnmowers I can marry, or can I marry other garden tools? 4-stroke or 2-stroke (and don't get me started on that one)? How about other power tools?
** As for marrying inanimate objects, I think Steve King's wife and Louis Goehmert's wife already have experience with marrying inanimate objects without intelligence or a brain. I'd like them to weigh in on this.
** Do these utter morons have anyone at home or in their offices to say, hey, hang on a second dad/sir, you may want to rethink what you're about to say.
History is not going to be kind to these douchebags and their followers. This era will not look good in the history books.

But yours is funnier.
Now surely this person either is kidding or is a figment of "The Onion's" imagination, right?
Surely in 2015 no person over the age of 8 would say something like this?

Have they never gotten it? Have they never bothered to ask for it?

(27,817 posts)After being rejected by a lawnmower, a wheelbarrow, and two chainsaws, King is seeking revenge.
Rumours persist, however, that an old rusty weed-whacker said she'd consider his proposal - but only if a lot of money was involved.
