Chainsaws. The power tool made famous by horror movies. There is no scarier piece of portable machinery, as far as I’m concerned. So you can imagine my fury when I found my fiancee not only in possession of a dreaded chainsaw, but up in a tree with it. Please allow me to say it again: he was up in a tree with it.
Our local deli has a donation canister set-up at the counter for an unfortunate citizen who recently met with serious bodily harm while, you guessed it, going up into a tree with a chainsaw. I really didn’t want Brian to join him in donation-can-land. Hence the swearing.
At the end of the video you will learn of a new horror entering our lives — an evil far more horrifying than a chainsaw. And much, much, much louder.

“I can’t marry you if you’re dead and I don’t want to marry you if you are stupid!” best line ever!

Oh man, that is really unsafe. They actually have a smaller “chainsaw on a stick” thing that landscapers use for this very purpose, with rope that activates the saw - your body stays 8 feet away from the moving blades, and you don’t need a ladder or strap. Make him get one. Then he’ll just need to be smart enough to stay out of the direct path of falling tree limbs.

Cut your fiance a break. It’s not even a gas powered chainsaw. Just in case, get a fat ass life insurance policy on him!

I so thought something “far more evil and much louder” than the chainsaw was a baby. Thank god you’re both still alive but it’s only the two of you!!

Wow. That was incredibly stupid.
I do dumb things from time to time however I would never be so stupid as to climb a ladder with a chainsaw. That’s living with your head up your ass.
Yes. Get a huge life insurance policy on this guy. You will cash in on it sooner than you think if he continues doing stuff like this.

I love my wife too much to endanger my life.
Something he might want to think about.

That electric chainsaw is the woosiest excuse for a chainsaw I have ever seen. I live in Bemidji, Minnesota, (Home of Paul Bunyan & Babe the Blue Ox) and I must say that if you were to use one of those here, you would be laughed out of the state. So rest assured, Miss B., your fiancé isn’t a lumberjack by any standards. He is, however, stupid for buying an electric chainsaw.
Also, “I can’t marry you if you’re dead, and I don’t want to marry you if you are stupid!” is the funniest thing I’ve heard today.

I’ve had to deal with my father doing the same thing my whole life, except from our roof, no ladder or support -and me just waiting for him to fall.

I have to agree with folks here. It’s stupid to do that. It’s also stupid to buy an electric chainsaw. That’s a total city slicker move right there.
I have gone up a ladder with a chain saw before, but mainly because I was too poor to afford a tree surgeon or a handyman who was stupid enough to do what I was willing to do for free. I think we even got the saw stuck halfway in a limb, necessitating what, you may wonder?
It meant one of us had to get a rope around part of the limb and dangle on it until we could free the saw. Because we were stupid. Imagine cutting off all my limbs at once and my brother having the limb fall and give him a head injury.
We were young. We also did other dumb stuff with shot guns but that’s not the point. If Brian wants a shotgun, tell him to go get an electric one to match his chainsaw.

Wow That is pretty much it. It might not have been so bad if he was wearing a little protection but to do that in what appeared to be his boxers, with no eye protection is just silly. Thank god he didn’t get injured. We all do stupid things though so woo hoo!!
