Did you ever have trouble with grass getting clogged? Try this.
Materials needed:
A small bit of wire, maybe from a coat hanger since it's pretty strong.
Some thick string, maybe nylon chord or something.
Tools:
A drill and drill bit, about 1/4" (to drill a hole near the end of the discharge flap.... thingy).
Needlenose-Pliers (to bend and cut the wire).
Put a small loop of wire through the hole you drilled in the discharge flap. Tie one end of the rope/string to this small loop.
Place another piece of wire around the upper part of the mower (see the attached pic). You'll want it to be secure, but have a loop where you can run the string/rope through.
Finally, tie the other end of string up by where you push the mower (preferably on the side).
If you happen to notice no clippings are ejecting - pull the string to raise the flap. You may need to move the mower around a bit, but the clog almost always discharges.
From me to my fellow MAMEWorld Bros. 
ETA: And as always, wear safety glasses!

You know it's a lot simpler to just remove the flap - doesn't really help that much anyway.

And then use that string or wire to wrap the damn kill lever. Zip tie works best though. Leave it a bit loose so it slides on and off the lever.
Just a little tip from your good ole Uncle Larry...

I would've thought it would depend on the side of the road you drive on rather than your hemisphere.

Think storms, rather than vehicles. They spin the other way, so obviously everything else does, too. Bet even your clocks are backwards.

The was no price difference between mulching / non mulching. I can't see why anyone buys a chute'd mover anymore.

What about helicopters? Russian and French helicopter rotors spin the right way, while everyone else's spin the wrong way. How do you explain that? (For single-rotor 'copters, that is - it gets more complex with more rotors.)
