the hammer. Beginners manage to hit a lot of
fingers and hands.


You also need to know when and how to cuss properly when the hammer is not
applied properly. Different situations mandate a difference response - a
polite "ouch" when you don't want someone to hear such language to throwing
the hammer into the next neighborhood as you employ a string of cuss words
rash enough to make a sailor blush when it really hurts.

You can always tell when a neighborhood has a lot of people who like to
build or work on things - it is amazing how many tools (of all types) can be
seen flying around. Because of this, area officials should clearly re-zone
some neighborhoods as "hard hat" areas.
