MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.

Keith Walendowski has been charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski says he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning.

He told police: "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

1. When I heard that

I laughed my ass off, for some reason it reminded me of a Simpson's episode in which he purchases a gun and uses it for everything, he shot the light so he good go to sleep, he'd shoot the tv to turn it on.
