If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

That is true. After a hammer it is electrical. O's teleprompter always needs replacing after he hammers it.

If you can't fix it, use the biggest hammer you can find and surely you will find something broken. Then replace that.

Some of my nick names should explain how some repairs have been done by me.

My dad loved having me around when he bought old houses and needed some demolishing done. Come to think if it, thats the only time he loved having me around. Oh dear, childhood flashback and my therapist changed his number.

When the hammer fails,
There is no problem that can't be solved by the suitable application of high explosives.

Personally, I follow Red Green's rule. "If it's not broken, you're not trying".

If you can't fix it, hit it with a hammer....If it breaks, it needed replaced anyways.


If it is too loose, duct tape it.
If it is too tight, WD-40 it.
