We Tivo Ellen because she always gives us a laugh. Always. She related yesterday how she likes to saw things. She was just pleased as punch that the brother of her spouse, Portia De Rossi, gave her a Sawzall brand reciprocating saw for Christmas.

Reciprocating saws are awesome. They have a single blade sticking out from the motor and the blade moves rapidly back and forth in a sawing action. It enables the sawer to get into some tight places to saw.

So when I read this today, I couldn’t help, could. not. help. but make the connection.

Maryland State Police airlifted the 27-year-old woman to Prince George’s County Hospital Center early Sunday morning after she was injured in an incident involving a sex toy attached to a saber saw blade, TheBayNet.com first reported.

The man who called 911 about the incident admitted attaching the sex toy to the saw and then using the high-powered, homemade device on his partner, according to the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.

Here’s the unasked and unanswered question. Who thought this would be a great idea?
