            When I was a kid growing up in Dover, Delaware, one of the neighbors in our
            apt complex had a licence plate from "Maryland". I always thought it was
            "Merry-Land"--a place for fun. This story gives that a whole new definition.
            Guess where I live now?

            I'm not the guy in the story.

              Sounds like that might qualify her for a Darwin Award.

                everyone knows, if you are going to use a saber saw, you don't just shove it over the end of the saw blade, but you duct tape it on...

                  Sounds like she won't be making whoopee with a tool or anybody for a while.

                  If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

                    Our local radio station has what they call "Stooge of the day". I sent the article on to them. I think it qualifies.

                          This is not really funny at all. But, one redeeming point to all of it was that he had good intentions. Who would ever think that the blade would cut through plastic?

                          Gotta put some blame on her too. I remember a story about some woman who went to the doctor to have some device removed. When she found out what the surgical cost of removal was, she asked how much just to replace the batteries.

                            I see this as an opportunity for a new line of power tool accessories. Attachments for your drill, jigsaw, recip saw, etc. Buying new tools won't get you into trouble.
