(One participant is on his hands and knees as the mower.)

Owner :
(Yanking imaginary rope, while mower sputters) This darned old mower, I can't get it going. I need some help. (Gets help from another participant.)

Helper #1:
So you just want me to yank on this rope, and get it started ? That's easy ! (Yanking rope)

Mower :
(Splutters, bobs up and down)

Helper #1:
I'm sorry. I can't seem to do it. Have you checked the gas ?

Owner :
Yes, I have. Thanks anyway. Well, let's see who else has a strong arm. (Selects another participant) What I need you to do is to give a real good yank on the starting rope and make it run.

Helper #2 :
Sure thing. (Yanks rope a couple of times.)

Mower :
(Bobs up and down, sputters, coughs)

Helper #2 :
Sorry, I can't do it either.

Owner :
What I need is someone big and strong (Selects a Leader) (Leader will probably make some comments, but let him talk and get him to pull the rope)

Mower :
(Splutters, coughs, starts to vibrate and run)

Owner :
There. All it needed was a real jerk.
