More on chain saws

To the editor:

The chain saw’s fault? But of course, nobody thinks about the poor chain saw.

What about the countless cords of wood cut? The felling and limbing of trees? What about the countless times the bar was stuck? (Due to very poor tree-felling skills of said perpetrator.)

What about the lack of maintenance? The very neglect of the poor, faithful, loyal keeper of heat — the chain saw? How many clogged filters, loose chains, fouled plugs and bad gas? How many rocks and nails did said saw have to cut.

How dull, dull, dull chains endured torture of said owner for “not mustering up”?

After years of obvious abuse, how could you possibly blame the chain saw? Because nobody thinks about the poor chain saw.
