Last weekend I was dropping some trees for a friend at his cottage (which is about 1/2 hour away from Burkes Falls) and one of his neighbor's came by to help. The guy is retired and loves to help out and hang out with us younger guys.
Anyways after a couple hours of work we stopped for a rest and then we start telling some stories mostly about trees and saws and such, and then this neighbor starts talking about this guy he knows and goes to see once in awhile that used to sell Stihl (same story as GYPO wrote...he lost the Stihl thing because his costs were too low and other dealers complained) and now sells Husqvarna, has several mountains of old saws etc...
The funny part of the story was one day this neighbor went to visit this guy to buy files (I think he said for a buck a file) and while he was there this city guy (I think the neighbor said he was a very clean cut school teacher) walks in and asks if he will sell him a saw. The dealer says "that's how I pay my bills", the city guy says well then what is a good saw? This dealer cracks off "one that runs".
So the next question the city guy asks him is if the dealer will show him how to cut down a tree? So this dealer walks the guy outside, turns the guy around to show him all the stumps around his yard and only 4 trees left standing. So the dealer says to him, "I only got 4 trees left and those are staying...for now!"
