@ Ed - get your mind out of the gutter, Lad! I know this is the internet, but not everything is pron here.
Actually, that gag comes from my teen years. I worked for $4/hr cash, with a bottle of Jack for holidays. The gig was repairing lawnmowers. George, the "owner" of the business was a true dropout from society, and literally, a skinny, dirty hippy, unreconstructed from back in the day.
Anyway, George was cobbling together a long ramp to roll mowers up onto the workbench, and I asked why, and he asked why I was asking. I reached down with one hand, lifted it by the pull-start housing and set it on the bench, effortlessly. George just said "Oh" and walked away.
