Deere

Himself ordered and mounted a rear bumper to his mower. 
I asked what is the advantage to that?
In case someone backs into a tree or something, he said. 
This protects the engine.
"Pfffft", I said, under my breath. 
Himself isn't going to back into a tree . . . he just doesn't do things like that 
(oh well, except for that one time he mangled the license plate
 -- but hey!  that was once in 40 years!) 
And I can't do things like that (backing into trees) if I don't ride this mower.  \
Therefore, this bumper is safe!  The bumper is for looks! 
Looks alone! 
Sharp!

well, um, yeh, well, you did crash into a tree going forward, so maybe the odds were that you might also going backwards.

yes, but I'm never, ever, going to mow with this mean, green machine, ever again.
