An Indian who just came from India walks into a hardware store and asks to see
the chain saws. Picking up one, he asked the store clerk, "How many trees will
this one cut in an hour?"
"Oh, that one will cut about five good sized trees in an hour," replied the clerk.
"What about this one?" asked the Indian. The clerk replied,
"That's an intermediate model which cuts around ten trees."
"And this one?" asked the Indian.
"That's our best model. It should cut at least 20 trees in an hour," said the
clerk
"I'll take it!" said the Indian. Two days later, the Indian returns to the store
and angrily states, "Hey, this saw is terrible. I could only cut three trees in
one hour with it!"
The clerk says, "Gee, I don't understand that. This is the best chainsaw we carry.
Wait a minute while I check it out." The clerk pulled on the starter rope and the
saw immediately activated with a loud roar.
'Hey," said the Indian, "what's that noise?"
