When splitting wood by hand, it’s a good plan to have a surplus of wedges so to not lose them all.

I know I shouldn’t laugh but all these efforts remind me of a Laureal & Hardy movie.

Hate when that happens. I usually just knock the pipe a bit, but then I'm not 5k ft. under water.

Laurel and Hardy made more sense!

Reminds me of a Dave Barry book on this very subject.
His safety-first notion of cutting a piece of wood is to place it on the floor of a room, place a circular saw nearby, and then leave the room for it to happen by itself.

Dear Obama,
God is not blessing your efforts.
Try backing off abortion, homosexuality, anti-semitism for a bit and see if things improve.

There is strong evidence that Barry does not fear God, and plenty of evidence that Barry doesn’t even believe in God.

When oil is gushing through the pipe at enormous pressure, the saw blade would be pushed sideways.
How far through did they get? Enough for explosives to finish the job?
