I see, said the blind man...

There are few things that please me so much in life as producing smoke with my handsaw.  Yes, boys and girls, I saw so quickly that the friction actually raises the temperature of the wood, however briefly, to over four-hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

This helps me know that if I ever have to produce fire with nothing more than a few pieces of wood and some string, I could very possibly do it.

Incidentally, the Subject is because of the oft-forgotten remainder of the phrase: " 'I see,' said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw."
