This fellow is looking to buy a saw to cut down some trees in
his back yard.  He goes to a chainsaw shop and asks
about various chainsaws.

The dealer tells him, "Look, I have a lot of models, but why
don't you save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and
get the top-of-the-line model. This chainsaw will cut a hundred
cords of wood for you in one day."

So, the man takes the chainsaw home and begins working
on the trees. After cutting for several hours and only cutting
two cords, he decides to quit. He thinks there is something
wrong with the chainsaw. "How can I cut  for hours and only
cut two cords?" the man asks himself. "I will begin first thing
in the morning and cut all day," the man tells himself.

So, the next morning the man gets up at 4 am in the morning
and cuts and cuts, and cuts till nightfall, and still he only
manages to cut five cords. The man is convinced this is a
bad saw. "The dealer told me it would cut  one hundred
cords of wood in a day, no problem. I will take this saw back
to the dealer," the man says to himself.

The very next day the man brings the saw back to the dealer
and explains the problem.

The dealer, baffled by the man's claim, removes the chainsaw
from the case. The dealer says, "Hmm, it looks fine." Then
the dealer starts the chainsaw, to which the man responds,

"What's that noise?"
