A Polish man 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. Thedealer tells him, "Look, I have a lot of models, but why don't you saveyourself a lot of time and aggravation and get the top-of-the-linemodel. This chainsaw will cut a hundred cords of wood for you in oneday."
So the Pole takes the chainsaw home and begins working onthe trees. After cutting for several hours and only cutting two cords,he decides to quit. He thinks there is something wrong with thechainsaw. "How can I cut for hours and only cut two cords?", the manasks himself. "I will begin first thing in the morning and cut allday", he tells himself. So, the next morning he gets up at 4 in themorning and cuts, and cuts, and cuts till nightfall, and he onlymanages to cut five cords.
The man is convinced this is a badsaw. "The dealer told me it would cut one hundred cords of wood in aday, no problem. I will take this saw back to the dealer." The verynext day the man brings the saw back to the dealer and explains theproblem. The dealer, baffled by the Pole's claim, removes the chainsawfrom the case. The dealer says, "Huh, it looks fine." Then the dealerstarts the chainsaw, to which the Pole responds, "What's that noise?"
