We're having a contest. The first man to stop the blade from spinning
using only their teeth, wins the saw. The saw to be used will be a
15Amp Milwaukee circular saw, with a carbide combination blade.
Are you man enough to try?

Contest will start at noon, on Labor Day 2004 at the Illinois State
Fair park.

If there is more than one winner, all finalists get a chance to stop a
Stihl 24" gas powered chainsaw using their teeth.

There will be no fees for contestants. All others will be charged
$5.00 to enter the park.

Are you man enough?



For the chainsaw, flip the kill switch or the chain brake. Depending on
where it's located on a Stihl, you might can pull the sparkplug wire
off. (You might get a really nasty shock.)

I haven't figured out the circular saw yet; maybe bite the guy holding
the saw so he lets go of the trigger or drops the saw.

Circular saw is easy. Just grab the cord with your teeth and unplug it.

As regards the "contest", the first thing I noted was the inconsistancy
between the following 2 statements.

1. The first man to stop the blade from spinning using only their teeth,
wins the saw.

2. If there is more than one winner, all finalists get a chance to stop a
Stihl 24" gas powered chainsaw using their teeth.

What part of "first man to stop the blade" didn't the original poster
understand? Unless there are multiple saws being given away, there can
be only 1 "first man" and there is need for a runoff with a chainsaw.
