How does one cut one’s own head off with a chain saw?
-—————————————Plenty of images come to mind. None pretty.
There was a scene in the recent TV remake of “The Andromeda Strain” where one of the stricken characters buzzes his own head off with a chain saw in one quick motion. How much truth there is to that one can only guess, because chain saws aren’t terribly light, but in some cases the blade is long enough to be able to reach your own neck without too much effort. And if it can make short work of a small-diameter tree... well, you can guess the rest.
I’m wondering if he maybe placed it on a table while it was running, leaned over and let gravity do the rest.
It takes a will of iron; maybe even of Stihl.
Once...
Obama is looking to buy a saw to cut down some
trees in his backyard. He goes to a chainsaw shop and asks about
various chainsaws.
The dealer tells him, “Look, I have a lot of models, but why
don’t you save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and get
the top-of- the-line model. This chainsaw will cut a hundred
cords of wood for you in one day.”
So, the man takes the chainsaw home and begins working on the
trees.After cutting for several hours and only cutting two
cords, he decides to quit. He thinks there is something wrong
with the chainsaw. “How can I cut for hours and only cut two
cords?” the man asks himself. “I will begin first thing in the
morning and cut all day,” the man tells himself.
So, the next morning the man gets up at 4 am in the morning and
cuts and cuts, and cuts till nightfall, and still he only
manages to cut five cords.
The man is convinced this is a bad saw. “The dealer told me it
would cut one hundred cords of wood in a day, no problem. I will
take this saw back to the dealer,” the man says to himself.
The very next day the man brings the saw back to the dealer and
explains the problem. The dealer, baffled by the man’s claim,
removes the chainsaw from the case. The dealer says, “Hmm, it
looks fine.”
Then the dealer starts the chainsaw, to which the man
responds, “What’s that noise?
