This reminds me of a run on joke I heard years ago.

A man is building a house out in the country on a heavily wooded lot. He goes to a local power equipment rental place and gets a suitable chain saw.

Next day he returns to the rental store and asks for a bigger saw, he only got 2 trees on the ground the first day. They give him a monster saw.

Next day he is back at the store reporting he only got one tree on the ground with the big saw. The guy can't believe it so they go out back to try it out on a log. The employee reaches for the starter cord and the customer asks "Whats that?"...

This proves that a big saw is better, but only if you know how to use it.

The video is most likely just a dramatization, but you never know.

Anyway, I did`t know should I laugh or cry when my beloved grandma told me she put an immersion heater (she used that for instant coffee) into the water tank of her automatic drip coffee maker and it took her a while to figure out what the problem was.
This one and lots of similar incidents were the beginning of Alzheimers.
Some of those incidents were really funny because I guess it`s easier to laugh and deny the obvious. The sad thing is she also realized herself from the beginning that something serious was going on.

Somewhere on YouTube a monster Stihl chainsaw like that one was used to saw a piano in half widthwise-was so amusing!!Yes,they started the machine with the pull cord!!

those are funny, and you have to chuckle at some folks for the obvious....

there a local guy here who died after being electrocuted while trying to clean his pool with a wet/dry vacuum he rented....

the wife was trying to sue the rental place because they didn't tell him it wasn't submersible....at the same time, they are charging her for the replacement of vacuum for mis-use of equipment......

never did hear the outcome from this case...most likely they got paid, can't claim the jurors are much more intelligent when they'll shovel out money for someone spilling hot coffee on themselves....

imagine how many times Wrigley's got sued for people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time.....after all, its not written on the label....

at what point do you figure people should know what the heck they are doing....

if someone borrows you car, and has a license, you figure they know how to drive.....what are they gonna claim when they wreck it, you didn't inform them that there's a blind spot?

Many years ago when I had appliance stores we sold a man a new gas range. He complained that the broiler didn't work. Three times I went out to check it and it always worked correctly. He was always at work during the day so only his wife was home at the time. Finally after three failed attempts I agreed to go out in the evening while he was broiling steaks. I was expecting that he just wasn't happy with the performance. (i.e. uneven cooking etc). When I got there he opens the storage drawer and shows me the two raw steaks.
