Hammer. Hammer. Hammer.
OUCH! What a ninnyhammer.
No, I don’t mean the actual hammer …
Yowzer! It really hurts!
Sorry—I’m having trouble staying on track.
Where is that ice pack I put in the freezer?
I might as well tell you (you’ve already guessed):
I “nailed” my thumb instead of the nail I was aiming for,
and that makes ME the
ninnyhammer.
Perhaps you’d prefer
ding-a-ling,
featherhead,
goose,
mooncalf,
(yes, I said mooncalf),
nincompoop,
turkey,
yo-yo …
Take your pick.
Any way you slice it
(hammer it?)
it still hurts.
