Computer lawn service
People & Places August 27th, 2005
I drove home from work one evening this week and saw a truck on my street that made me do a double-take. I actually drove around the block again so I read it to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.
A magnetic sign on the side of the pickup with the trailer full of yard gear was “Merrill Lawn and Computer Services” I could only imagine what that sales conversation/cold-call sounded like:
Hi, would you be interested in our rake and RAM special? We’ll airate and overclock. We degrub and defrag. We’ll mow, trim, edge and antivirus. Get rid of crabgrass and spam! Trim your hedges and secure your wireless!
See, it’s funny, because my family used to run a lawn service. I really didn’t like mowing other people’s lawns (or even my own back then.) Mom always joked I did the computer side of the business because when they went to mow, I went to the PC.
I chuckled. Maybe we’re not the only family like that.

hee… Funny jokes in thar…
Tis true, getting you to help me with anything out of doors at that point in your life required a lot of begging or bribing.
