Script:
Clerk: Another beautiful day here in the north woods. This new shipment of chainsaws sure look nice. It should be no problem selling them.
Lumberjack: Morning!
Clerk: Hello there. What can I do for you?
Lumberjack: Well, I've been cutting so much wood, my old crosscut saw is pretty much worn out. I need a new saw.
Clerk: Oh, this is your lucky day! This chain saw will let you cut twice as much wood as your old crosscut. And, it's only $100.
Lumberjack: Sounds like a good deal. Here you go. (hands over money and takes saw)
(the next day)
Clerk: Well, another beautiful day here in the north woods.
Lumberjack: Hey! I think there's something wrong with this saw. I worked twice as hard yesterday but only got half as much wood cut as I did with my old saw.
Clerk: Hmmm, that doesn't sound right. Here, let me put a new chain on it and you can try it again.
Lumberjack: Alright, but if it doesn't work any better, I'll be back tomorrow.
(the next day)
Clerk: Well, another beautiful day here in the north woods.
Lumberjack: I give up! This saw is just no good. It's too heavy and I'm just not getting enough wood cut. I want my money back.
Clerk: I'm sorry to hear that. Do you mind if I just check it out first?
Lumberjack: Sure, here. (hands him the saw)
(Clerk pulls the starter rope and then makes loud motor noises.)
Lumberjack: My gosh! What in the world is all that noise?
