Lawn rage

Water restrictions have claimed another victim.

A 66-year-old man has died after being attacked while watering his lawn in Sylvania, in Sydney’s south.

Police say the man was watering late Wednesday afternoon when he got into an argument with a 37-year-old man walking by the house at the time.

Sadly, it’s inevitable that this kind of thing will happen more and more often as global warming bites. Why only this morning, I saw a young woman jostled and abused in K-Mart because she bought a toy Humvee and demanded a plastic bag to carry it. It’s only a matter of time before anyone caught hosing their drive will risk being strung up to the nearest telegraph pole by an angry mob and left hanging in the wind as an example to others. That’s why I only wash my car in the dead of night in a thunderstorm.

Al Gore, you’ve inspired a whole new generation of urban eco-terrorists.
