Thread Name: Folklore: Sawing Your Own Foot Off (Lord Buckley)
Subject: RE: Sawing Your Own Foot Off For an Encore!
I play a saw and it does draw a lot of attention when I play. From stage I even kid about things getting hacked off and not growing back from my exploits at flexing the dern thing betwixt me knees. Fortunately playing it seems to do the trick for me. I don't actually have to demonstrate sawing body parts off to get the attention of my audiences but I have been curious about doing that sawing a member of the audience in half trick. I'd like to add it to the act. I figure I can start with small, maybe with Barbie dolls in shoe boxes and work my way up to hecklers. ;~)

"So, what's your name honey? Barbie, you don't say. You here with friends tonight Barbie? Uh huh, just your boyfriend, Ken. Barbie have you got life insurance? Cuz I'm gonna be frank, this is my first time doin' this trick and I haven't quite got all the kinks worked out yet. Can I get you to sign this release?"....
