Your problem isn't that you used a hammer.

Your problem is that the hammer you used wasn't big enough!!

Yeah, I thought the rule was "if a little hammer doesn't work, use a bigger hammer!"

And "if it sticks, force it - if it breaks, was going to need fixing anyway." Hammer's good for that.

Hammer size is generally relative to the number of beers consumed before that statement is made. :lol:

That’s what they make “C”-clamps for...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
