ChainsawMy dad was cutting down a tree in the back garden. He'd hired a chainsaw. I was watching, chainsaws are kind of exciting.
My dad steps back to admire his handywork, notices some of the chopped branches are on the extention cord and he needs two hands to sort the problem out.
"Spanky," said my dad, "hold this for a minute."
And he passes me over the bone-shudderingly powerful, incredibly heavy idling chainsaw...
...I was seven years old...

why did an "idling" chainsaw need an extension cable?Was it pipe-fed the petrol? or is the story a fabrication riddled with factual inaccuracies?
