It's cheaper to buy a new lawnmower than to repair the old one anyway.   
And with the quality craftsmanship of some lawnmowers, they hardly ever 
need sharpening anymore either.  In fact, 95% of all lawnmowers 
manufactured in the US alone are made by people who live here.  Some 
live in the south while the others live in the north.  Those who live in 
the North attend northern schools while the majority of those who live 
in the south attend southern schools.
