A 60-year-old man has been sentenced for assaulting the driver of a riding lawnmower the man claimed was making horses in a nearby field in northern Sweden “hysterical”.
When the man heard the machine rumbling over the grass in June, he ran over and attemtped to throw the driver to the ground, the local Dagbladet newspaper reported.
The surprised driver managed to right himself, but drove the riding mower into the ditch.
The 60-year-old then grabbed hold of the driver once again, lifting him out of the driver's seat and throwing him to the ground.
When the driver attempted to get back on the mower, the 60-year-old rushed back and threw him to the ground again.
During his trial in the Sundsvall District Court, the 60-year-old claimed he was acting in self-defence, arguing the lawnmower was making the horses “hysterical” and thus posed a danger to any humans in the area.
He also claimed he simply wanted to tell the driver of the mower that he was scaring the horses by cutting the grass with the noisy machine.
But the court didn't buy the 60-year-old's arguments, sentencing him to 50 hours of community service for assault. He was also ordered to pay 6,500 kronor ($1,000) in damages to the driver of the lawnmower.
Obama, the IMF and the geniuses who run Greece have one thing in common. When it comes to plain stupidity, they can’t rival this lawnmower Joe (who cares if it’s real or not, rather entertaining clip, wouldn’t you say?):

I’ve seen hysterical women but what does a hysterical horse look like?
John Kerry?
Silly question.
One’s a dog and the other is a horse, obviously.
Two completely different species.
A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "what'll you have?"

I’m amazed this one went to court. Imagine the humiliation of having the crap beat out of you by a 60-year-old.
Of course, the mower rider could’ve been in his 70s...
Too bad they kept the guy’s age a secret.
“hornswoggling”
- It’s a great thing you Americans decided to free yourselves from Britain two centuries ago.
But what do you, even in your own mind, believe expressions like this and other ones you frequently use in everyday conversation actually mean?
Is it we Europeans who lack fantasy?
Lack fantasy? Yes you do.
