It was a dark and stormy night. Caitlin went out into the garden to find the cat. Caitlin had just had an argument with Milton, her husband. She had told him he spent too much time at the pub. In the course of the “conversation” quite a few regrettable statements were uttered. “I hope you die,” said Milton.
Caitlin had just spied her cat in the garden when a tree fell over in the wind. It pinned Caitlin to the ground. She was unable to move. With a slight lull in the storm Caitlin was able to call for help. Milton appeared.
Milton went into the shed to get his chainsaw. After he’d finished with the chainsaw he got in the car and went to the pub.
Chainsaws can come in handy.

They’re handy when the chain is blunt.

You tease Bruce, well this time I choose to believe she is sitting cosily on the sofa having been freed from the confines of the tree.

Well, really, if he’d listened to Caitlin, he may not have been so drunk that he couldn’t keep a chainsaw steady…

It was sort of a fill-in. They seem to show 10 minute architecture things – Suez Canal, Glass/Crystal Cathedral, Notre Dame Paris, St Peter’s Rome, and the Mormon Tabernacle.

No – I don’t think it gave a name. It dealt in part with the terrible acoustics of the original building, then the shifted the position of the pulpit from the middle side to the end, then they added a mezzanine floor and that improved the echo and then they did other things and added the organ.
