Al Cooke,

I don’t mean to take such a serious subject so lightly, but in dental practice I have yet to see just an ‘an ear cut off’ with a chain saw when in the area of the head.  I am certain you meant to not get into too an undesirable description, but your comment did tickle me as to the absurdity.

“When you finally get to the tangle of limbs and trunks on the ground,
chances are good that most of them are caught up under some tension.  When
you saw into that limb under tension, it’s a good idea if you know which way
it’s going to snap.  If you don’t know, it could break your leg or take off
your ear.  If you don’t know, stay away.”
