My mother bore a scar above her eyebrow to attest to that. She took
the hubbard squash out to the chopping block figuring that the ax
would split the squash. Instead the ax bounced back and hit her above
the eye. I think she used a saw after that. This was back in the day
when some winter squash varieties grew huge, maybe 15 or more pounds
and were really odd shaped. They were gorgeous, bumpy things :-)
