How are you handling the leaves this fall? Better than this guy?

A fight between two neighbors broke out Thursday after one of the men became irate over leaves blown onto his lawn from the other neighbor’s leaf optimist, authorities say.

A 52-year-old man was using a leafblower at his mobile home on the 46000 block of Chatsworth, when his neighbor, Jerry Thomas Ficht, 57, approached him about 1:15 p.m., accusing him of blowing leaves onto Ficht’s yard.

Ficht is alleged to have then started assaulting his neighbor, who was bleeding from his ear and laying in a supine position when Macomb County sheriff’s deputies arrived.

The fight was broken up, police say, when the victim’s girlfriend, 68, emerged from the home with a handgun and warned Ficht that she would shoot if he didn’t stop hitting her boyfriend. The woman is a licensed concealed weapon carrier, and the handgun is legally registered to her.

Can't type b_lowers without the system changing it to optimists.

That's because it's spelled BLOWARS, dummy.

Hey Bob, how are you doing on your preparations for the war on Christmas? It's coming. I saw a bunch of people got mad because Starbucks had the audacity to come out with their red holiday cups and they don't say merry Christmas on it anymore. The anger and hate that is the Christmas season is already bubbling a little bit. Frankly, I'm excited.

Pretty sound investment. I have a lot of leaves to deal with. No neighbors to bother, but I might take some of my leaves and dump them in Bob's yard.

There's some quality humor. Nothing quite as funny as dismembered babies.

WTF, are you going to shoot the leaves into a bag?
