Credit Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally with saving the leader of the free world from self-immolation.
So, Bush didn't actually try to plug the cord into the fuel tank?
If it were at all possible, which I doubt, they better change the design before they try to sell it to typical American homeowners. Unless, of course, they are going to supply a CEO to every household to prevent problems.
After all, American homeowners do some really stupid stuff. When I was working at Homelite, we had one guy sue us. Apparently, he first disabled the bail wire (which prevents a lawnmower from operating unless the operators hands are on the handle), picked up his Homelite lawnmower - by wrapping his hands around the edges, fingers underneath where the blades are - and tryed to use it as a hedgetrimmer. Needless to say, he cut off his own fingers, but claimed it was our fault, since the owners manual does not say the lawnmower should not be used for trimming hedges. We added a line in the owners manual that lawnmowers are for cutting grass, not trimming hedges after that.
