When seeds attack

I was spreading a sail out in the back yard on grass to inspect it and measure it. After we got the sail spread out I walked around it and suddenly felt something attacking my legs. It felt like I stepped in some kind of flea hatchery, I looked down and my legs were covered with little dots that looked like fleas. So I yelled "ACK! Fleas! Save yourself!" to my fiance and ran off the grass. Upon closer inspection they were just seeds from the lawn.

It was pretty creepy walking around the sail and feeling stuff fly up and stick to your legs.

Now you need to water tour sail and change the name of your boat to “Chia-pet”

A six inch thick concrete cap on the lawn would prevent that kind of problem.

A replay of the movie "Killer Tomatos". A silly movie made in San Diego Ca.
Soon your legs will start spouting grass and for the rest of your life you will have to mow your lags. Or use a Weed Wacker.

Gee with a Chia-deck you could grase a sheep or two on you boat and get enough wool for woolen long johns.
