with fall comes the ultimate scourge of lawn work: raking leaves. all of those gorgeous, oxygen-giving trees in your backyard become instruments of torture, littering their leafy bounty all over the lawn and sidewalk.
according to the inventor of the the leaf pants, the leaves aren’t the problem. it’s the rake – that pronged nightmare that strains backs, blisters hands, and poses a real threat if left lying in the grass. but a leaf-blower isn’t the answer either. instead, the inventor insists, what humanity needs is a method that is “compatible with the natural body movement of a person.”
enter the ‘leaf chaps’, a pair of zip-on, flexible tubes that slip over pant legs with a net fastened between the two so you can gather leaves as you stroll. the net corrals the leaves and collects them in front of you, so with just a few extra steps, you’re forming piles that are easily picked up later.
not merely convenient, the chaps also promise to make you more productive. rather than struggle with bulky tools, do something you’d be doing anyway (walking around your lawn), while getting work done! sure, that walk is more like a waddle, but that’s the price you pay for innovation.

That is funny and ridiculous. All at the same time. I love the quote. Embrace mistakes. Have a wonderful day. Be the light of the world. Peace.

This is hilarious! My laugh for the day. Then, again . . . maybe if I”d been wearing a pair of leaf chaps, I wouldn’t have fallen and broke my foot. 🙂 Reminds me of the ads for Buck Naked underwear.

The quote goes well with the ad. Replacing “wrong” with “look ridiculous” also works.
