This demonstrates an effect that might remind you of the Doppler Effect, but in this one, the voice goes only from low to high pitch.

If a man intending to cut down trees is seriously hurt in the woods, but is wearing camouflage, can you find him (should you)?

Chainsaw yes, but seriously why does he need the camouflage clothing. What sort of deaf trees is he trying to sneak up on!

"Here's our new chainsaw model, from Bobbet Industries."

Note: Bobbet Industries has no relation with Snap-On Tools, but you'd think they would start a joint ad campaign, "After you Bobbet off, you can get a Snap-On Tool."
