Some of you guys are making me seriously consider buying an expensive leaf blower.

Worst case, I'll have the cleanest yard in town next fall.

Along the same lines (and probably an old joke among flatheaders). When I was a little kid my late Father came up with the idea of a rubber camshaft. The faster it spun the more it would stretch, thereby opening the valves even further. I bought it hook, line and sinker. He was a great kidder with a Buster Keaton face.
