The Grasshopper And The Denim Shorts

[Guest Donna Jean]

.

My mower is a fun place....I seem to have lots of adventures while riding that thing!

Like this afternoon...

It was nice out...not too hot for a change...the recent hot weather and rains have made the grass grow like crazy...

Got out the mower and went after it....

I got into some higher stuff and then something came up and hit me right where the cuff is on my denim shorts (jean shorts)..

I looked down and there was this big 'ole grasshopper sitting right at the opening to the leg on my shorts....

Oh crap...crap...crap.....

I slowly stopped the mower and reached down to soosh him away...

Well, he didn't scare off of me...he scared up into my shorts!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I jumped off the mower and started jumping around, smacking my shorts!

I ran behind a big 'ole bush and dropped my shorts and Mr. Grasshopper went one way and I went the other!

Honestly ....I have NOTHING against grasshoppers...

As long as they're not in my pants!

Poor Donna Jean. Bet ya, that grasshopper, was more scared of you, than you of it. Thanks for sharing this humourous story with us, I needed the laugh, badly.

PLEASE can I come watch next time you mow??!!

Or at least take a video camera and mount it on the mower-your mowing adventures would go viral in a heartbeat and make you a global celebrity.

Think of the endorsements!!

Kevlar vests and bug repellent alone would be mind boggling!!

Donna Jean baby,

You seem to have the worst luck on that mower, maybe you should get a couple goats and sell the mower, maybe those Amish boys would take it off your hands.

I would say "at least it wasn't a hornet or wasp"

That said I have a very very funny pic about wasp's but it's got the f word in it numerous times. Still it's funny as hell and soooooooo true.

[Guest RachaelAnn]

Thank you DJ. That was a desperately needed laugh.

I could just see you dancing around! lol I bet those amish boys were watching.

That grasshopper wanted a free show. You made me laugh- thank you.

Lots of HUGS and next time put some duck tape around your pants legs. works wonders.

ROTHFLMAO Paula honey, you took a good one and took it to the next level.

I dont care what you say. That was funny.

I needed a good laugh. reminds me about the time I had a bat come in the house and I was trying to get it out of the house.

Donna Jean Thanks for sharing.

I heard, via the grapevine, that those pesky Amish boys paid Mr. Grasshopper $50; just to get a sneak-peak!!!! LMAO

PS, I once had the pleasure of watching a girl jump up on top of a desk,tearing her jeans off and a poor chipmonk fell outta her pants leg. True story- I swear.

[Guest Micha]

Sounds like a Ray Stevens song.

I don't know how I missed this post but I had to LMAO when reading this. This is just too funny Dee Jay.

What would your Amish boyfriends be thinking if they saw you jump off of the lawnmower and start jumping around like that?

[Guest Donna Jean]

That I was possessed?

[Guest Opal]

Maybe that their prayers are being answered.

I had a grasshopper jump up on me yesterday as I was taking something off of the clothesline. He said to tell you hello.....

Huggs,

Don't buy that stuff about an exorcism either Donna Jean. You KNOW where that can lead!!

[Guest therisa]

Not sure, which is funnier, the original story, or the responses. Either way, thank you, for bring some humour into my life. Its been a very rough week, here.
