Back in 1981 or '82, some jerk in Waukesha, Wisconsin kidnapped his 
estranged wife (she lived across the street from me), murdered her, 
hacksawed her head from her body, dumped the body in  a cornfield and burnt 
the head in his parents' wood burning stove.

Anyway, I was listening to a news report about the case some months later. 
Immediately after the newscaster mentioned that the suspect had sawed off 
his wife's head, they went to a commercial break. The commercial was for a 
home improvement store and began with the sound of somebody sawing. Then the 
music started with people cheerfully singing, "When you're working at home, 
and you need a helping hand.............."
