Lawnmower, The

(One participant is on his hands and knees as the mower.)

Owner : (Yanking imaginary rope while mower sputters) This darned old mower, I can't get it going. I need some help. (Gets help from another participant.)

Helper #1: So you just want me to yank on this rope and get it started? That's easy! (Yanking rope)

Mower : (Splutters, bobs up and down)

Helper #1: I'm sorry. I can't seem to do it. Have you checked the gas?

Owner: Yes, I have. Thanks anyway. Well, let's see who else has a strong arm. (Selects another participant) I need you to give a real good yank on the starting rope and make it run.

Helper #2: Sure thing. (Yanks rope a couple of times.)

Mower : (Bobs up and down, sputters, coughs)

Helper #2: Sorry, I can't do it either.

Owner: What I need is someone big and strong (Selects a Leader) (Leader will probably make some comments, but let him talk and get him to pull the rope)

Mower : (Splutters, coughs, starts to vibrate and run)

Owner: There. All it needed was a good jerk.
