HA!
I removed a couple trees for a coworker and a few weeks later his neighbor wanted a few cut so I went and took them down for him. I cut a nice hard maple ~20" DBH first then had a couple small garbage trees that were about 8-10" DBH to take down. I dropped the first exactly where I wanted and shut the saw off to move a rope that was on the ground where the next one was going. The home owners FIL had stopped by when the saw was off and was kind enough to let me know I was cutting them wrong and that my back cut needed to be at least 4" higher and angled to prevent kickback.
I thanked him and let him know the next tree was coming right where he was standing. The rest of my comments were muffled by the sound of my saw. The home owner later appologized for his FIL.
