If trimmers could get tattoos, this trimmer would have at least six.

Some people go through life taking no risks, making no waves, doing what they're told and so on. Those are the people who live in a nice house with a lawn they need to trim. What, you thought breaking rules was positive? Think again, miscreant! They don't give lawns to criminals these days!

To earn the right to do what you want, you've got to say "Yes, Sir" and "Yes, Ma'am" and "That was an excellent bon mot in the board room today" and "Of course I don't mind working a 170 hour week, boss!" and all the little things that will make them want to keep you, and throw out Risky McDingDong over there. That's how you get security in today's society. And that's how you excel.

But you've got to express your dark side from time to time. So pick up this Cub Cadet and brag about the 25cc motor. It's got a full-crank 4-cycle engine, but it's also got an ergonomic curve shaft so you don't hurt yourself while using it. It's the perfect way to say "On weekends, I'm dangerous, but even then I'm a valued company resource."

Alternatively, you could be born super rich. But if you're reading these words here now, you've probably missed that particular destiny.
