When I was a kid watching my dad work in his shop he used to tell stories, some of the stories are the ones he already sent you here's another.
Back in the days when all the work was done with hand tools the men would make bets about how fast or how well they could do work.
One day when they needed to rip (cut lengthwise) some long, thick pieces of wood one man bet that he could rip the entire length of the board without stopping.
Since it was a rather long and thick board, the second man accepted the bet. As the man got about halfway through cutting the board and it looked as though he was going to win the bet, the second man pulled out one of the drawers in the workbench right in the way of the upcoming cut.
To his surprise, the first man did not stop, but continued his cut right through the drawer and won the bet.
