I love to mow the lawn. It's my favorite thing to do in the summer besides soak in my pool. I got a John Deere and I have about an acre to cut and I look forward to it every week.

Did you know that Lamborghini made tractors before they made sports cars?

No - I didn't. Learned something, but I'd still rather have a Countach than any tractor!

Isn't that why we have children in the first place?

Reminds me of a conversation with my dad back in '65 or so.

Dad: Steve! You want to cut the lawn for me?
Me: No, sir.
Dad: You gonna do it anyway?
Me: Yes, sir.

I got a "do it now, or I'll rap you in your mouth"

(back in the day when being rapped was painful and not a Jay Z song.)

I hate managing the lawn so much, I would rather prefer astro turf than grass.

Not many know that Porsche build tractors too.

(Sorry, no English link on Wikipedia But there is an American club devoted to them:http://porsche-diesel.com/)

BTW.
The "e" at the end of Porsche is pronounced. I always cringe when I hear English speaking people pronounce it "Porsh".
