Dumbass. Read the instructions before you put it on your 40k square foot lawn that is hosting an important fund raiser. This guy should rip it all out and put in rock. Though from the sound of it he would probably fuck that up too.

When I saw you post, I thought it was going to be about JR Simplot. Posted Image

I recall being pissed off at Simplot one summer when they limited lawn watering to 2 days a week or something like that due to a drought. While all the hoi polloi had browning lawns, Simplot's hill was as green as Kentucky.

For the rest of you guys, Simplot is a billionaire that lives in Boise and his house is perched on top of a gigantic lawn-covered hill. Boise is a desert climate, and the water wasted on just this one man's lawn could probably irrigate a few farms.

How sad. The guy had a two acre grassy lot and wanted to purchase weed poison, not grass and weed killer all in one. The two different bottles were so much alike that both he and the employees at the nursery where he bought it got confused on which product did what. But the sad part is not the mistake. The sad part is that he has two children with cystic fibrosis and he was planning to hold a much needed fundraiser on his lot to help him pay for his childrens' medical care. Now with the grass dead and mud a sure thing if he hosts the fundraiser, he had to cancel the fundraiser because he can't find a place to hold it. That's really sad. I hope some good person steps up and offers him an outdoor place to hold the fundraiser.
