When all else fails, get a bigger hammer

AFTER thoroughly reading the instruction manual, of course, to see if that might help you to get it to work properly without resorting to such drastic measures :D
Seasoned mechanic, talking to an elderly long-retired grease-monkey buddy on the phone: I have a '58 Ford 350 two-ton flatbed here with a frozen rear brake-drum --- I've tried WD-40, I've tried penetrating-oil, I've banged on it with a two-pound sledge, and then even a five-pound sledge, but it still refuses to budge... any ideas?
Aged grease-monkey: Yes, indeed, Son --- get an eight-pounder and really have at it.
Seasoned mechanic, in plaintive shock: But... but... I'll BREAK it if I do THAT!
Aged grease-monkey, confidently: No, you won't --- trust me --- those beefy old solid-iron brakes are made extra-tough, specifically to safely withstand the extra force of being overhauled like this. Just get up your nerve and really clobber on it!
Mechanic, hesitantly: Okaayyy... if you say so... hold the line... gets a huge sledge hammer and reluctantly but resolutely bashes the ancient brake drum, then steps back in wide-eyed surprise when the ponderous hammer just harmlessly bounces off; emboldened, he rears back and really takes a mighty swing at the drum again, knocking the drum loose and sending it flying halfway across the shop. He picks it up and is flabbergasted to see that it is still fully intact, and with only a very minor surface-scuffing. So he lifts the phone again in pleased bewilderment Wow --- you were right... it came off with just two whacks, and I didn't damage it at all!
Aged mechanic: See? Tolja it would be okay... when all else fails, get a bigger hammer!

Failed-Irish Goodbye

When you pass out in a public place after drinking too much. The reason that it is "failed" is because a sucessful Irish Goodbye involves leaving the scene BEFORE you pass out.
Dude I wish I would have got a picture of your Failed-Irish Goodbye last night when you were passed out at the diner

Gar-Failed

(Verb)

To be Gar-Failed is to know disappointment at a cosmic level: like Garfield waking up to an empty lasagna pan. Every Wednesday you get your hopes up—bowling shoes rented, camera ready, dough rising—and every Wednesday such bestie pulls a Gar-Fail, leaving you holding nothing but regret and extra pepperoni.
Example:
“Thought we were making pizza and going bowling, but Greg Gar-Failed me again.”

One-liner roasts:

When Garfield hates Mondays, but Greg makes you hate Wednesdays.

To be left standing alone in bowling shoes, holding a camera and a homemade pizza sauce.

Greg ghosts Garfield Day harder than Garfield ghosts diets.

nothing fails like failure

a phrase meaning if one fails at one time, one may fail at other times, too.
He is a complete flop. He failed in his exam. He was snubbed by the company when he sought a job there. He even failed to win the heart of his girlfried as she jilted him. Nothing fails like failure, isn't it?
