The man is a blind midget, the shortest one in the circus. Another midget, jealous because he's not as short, has been sawing small pieces off of the first one's cane every night, so that every day he thinks he's taller. Since his only income is from being a circus midget, he decides to kill himself when he gets too tall.
or...
Instead of sawing pieces off of the midget's cane, someone has sawed the legs off of his bed. He wakes up, stands up, and thinks he's grown during the night!!!

well the guy was obviously doing some woodwork and he lopped of his penis with a coping saw. Because hes a bit of a handyman he had spent the whole day working, naked, under the seductive presence of his employer. Asked if he would like a frothy coffee his attention slipped and so did the saw. Being in such an environment there's alot of sawdust. Searching in vain in the thick undergrowth of sawdust he couldn't find his penis. So if he would have seen the sawdust, he'd had known where his penis had fallen and he would of got lucky with his employer.

Short man who made his living out of being the shortest in the world. He knew this by measuring himself with a wooden stick. His rival wanted to be the shortest in the world. So he cut off a bit of wood from the top of the stick. The shortest man then went to measure himself only to discover the stick was now shorter than him-meaning he must have grown and was no longer the shortest in the world so he no longer would have a job. So he killed himself. However, had he seen the sawdust (evidence the rival had SAWED off the top of the stick) he wouldnt have killed himself cos he would have known it was a trick and he hadnt really grown. Was this right??

He was a blind tree. If he had seen the sawdust flying in the air,he would have been able to make like a tree and leave to avoid being murdered by the chainsaw.

he hung by a rope 10 feet off the floor in the dark until he died. If he had the light he would have not been scared to let go and drop the last bit, landing in the sawdust.

he was as God Send said, the shortest man in the world, and also blind. he didnt see the sawdust from the shortening, as God Send said, his rival made to the stick that the man was checking his shortness. thinking that he had grown, his job and life was at stake so he commited suicide. if he had seen the sawdust, he wouldnt have died.

"he" was the shortest man in the world,
in the habit of checking this status by measuring himself with a
wooden stick of the same length as his height. His rival, the
second shortest, had engineered a heart attack by shortening the
stick, thus leading the deceased to believe that he had grown, and
that his livelihood was in jeopardy. (He makes his living from
his lack of height, e.g. in a circus.)

a giant monster made of sawdust came sneaking up behind him and if only he had turned around he wouldn't have died a gory headless death.
