Here are some runners-up in the Tiller Vibration Competition, announced in mini-AIR 2007-02, to create a limerick based on this research report:
“Vibration Characteristics of Walking and Riding Type Power Tillers,” Bini Sam and K. Kathirvel, Biosystems Engineering, vol. 95, no. 4, December 2006, pp. 517-28.
Here are those runners-up.
Investigator DENNIS MCGRATH:
Vibrations encountered while tilling
When seated are borderline thrilling,
But walking behind
Merely jostles the mind
And the body, which may not be willing.
Investigator DAVID F. FANNING:
Bob?s wife went to five different malls
a tiller to buy, she recalls.
She happily guessed
that the one he?d like best
was the one that would vibrate his balls.
Investigator RICHARD CLAWSON and an unnamed colleague:
My tiller’s vibration is neat,
I don’t have to use hands or feet,
I just ride all around
While it tills up the ground
and excites me somewhere in my seat.
The winner was announced in mini-AIR 2007-03.
