Columbia Falls, Maine ( Downeast Maine) | On concrete job once I came by a laborer cutting a 12" footing plank, he had smoke rolling of the blade cause of the dull blade. I told he to turn the plug over cause he had the saw running backwards. I just kept on going, he looked at his boss and said he didn't know if I was pullen his leg or not. His boss said " he's the big boss do as he says". Laborer turned the plug over, Smoke rolled and all the guys got a big laugh out of it.
