A city slicker's heating bill just kept going up, so he decided to cut some firewood to burn in his fireplace. He had heard that the quickest way to cut wood was with a chain saw so he went to the hardware store and told the clerk he needed one.
The clerk sold him one and told him he should be able to cut a cord of wood a day with it.
Next week the city slicker came back to the hardware store with the chain saw. He looked like he had lost about 30 lbs. and he had blisters on both hands. He told the clerk he wanted his money back, he said not only would that chain saw not cut a cord a day, he couldn't even get one log sawed up in a day.
The clerk said, "it was in good working order when I sold it to you, let me see it".
The man reached it to him and the clerk pulled the starter cord and started it.
The Punchline
Then the city slicker started backing up with a strange expression on his face and said, "What's that noise?"
