Default The Fighting Seabees

I was watching the old John Wayne movie (1944) tonight and there is a scene
where "Sawyer" opens a pack of cigarettes by running the end of the pack
through a Dewalt radial arm saw, that looked to be a 16" blade, while
another guy was ripping lumber. The looks on Susan Hayward and Dennis
O'Keefe's faces were great as was Hayward's line "Hadn't you better count
your fingers sawyer?" Ripping lumber on a radial arm saw is foolhardy
enough but to open a pack of cigarettes was even crazier! Sawyer's response
was "It always turns out the same, 10 or 12 roughly." He was drunk... this
was an advertisement for the CPSC and OSHA!

John
