Not only that but Husky chain saws are among the best. There is even an ad for a husky grass whipper that shows someone trimming the grass around a telephone pole and as the person moves to the next one the pole falls down. So as usual Louis is wrong, Shiva would not survive. She and her arguments would be cut to pieces. (Of course much that Shiva has to say is correct but has already been said by countless other less adorable people)

 

Cheers, Ken Hanly
