(Nope, not that kind of chain saw humor.)

     <forwards hiding out and planning trips _around_ Iowa ... :->
     
     An Iowan 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 Iowan.
     
     The clerk replied, "That's an intermediate model which cuts around ten 
     trees."
     
     "And this one?" asked the Iowan.
     
     "That's our best model.  It should cut at least 20 trees in an hour," 
     said the clerk
     
     "I'll take it!" said the Iowan.
     
     Two days later, the Iowan 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 Iowan, "what's that noise?"
