Just imagine an ad with a couple of cows selling chainsaws!

Jay Leno would have this on Headlines if it were modern.

Now I get an image of Jack Paar doing the joke, it falling flat and then he gets a bigger laugh trying to explain it!!

No I got the Atkins thing. It would be funnier if steel without carbon wasn’t steel but simply called “iron”.

Sure! No carb—–on. And lots of beef, it’s the Atkins way!!

I guess it’s funnier if you say it rather than read it…or maybe it’s not.

I thought that this was kind of ominous…those cows are looking at the saws like they are gonna be next!

“carb-on”?

So Atkins saws would all be made from stainless steel since they would have to be carb-on free.

Yes, bad jokes at Christmastime, it’s my glorious gift to all!
