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!

Hammer out a Nightstick

Taking a long solid shit. Should usually be long enough to touch the water in the toilet before breaking off from the balloon knot.

Barry: Yo man, you almost ready to go?
Cody: I'm running a little late cause I had to hammer out a nightstick

hammer out a deal

Talk seriously and in detail until a business agreement is made.

The two companies did not agree immediately on all the details of the takeover but they managed to reach a compromise and hammer out a deal without too much delay.

Three Lamas in a Hummer

The beater of the ultimate argument winner Two camels in a Tiny car because A: 3 is more then 2. B: Camels are cooler then lamas. C: Hummers crush tiny cars. Finally a comeback to all those Douches out there who use this as a legit comeback.

Douche: Hey, dude, you know 13 inches is a foot right?
Dude: WTF are you talking about? It's 12 inches to a foot.
Douche: Really, TWO CAMELS IN A TINY CAR!
Dude: Three Lamas in a Hummer
Douche: dam it :(
Dude: WHAT! Pwned

Alex really liked the comment. It was a good way to earn brownie points without a hamper.

Hot Dogs in a Hamper

When you can't think of the words for "pigs in a blanket."

I'm going to eat some hot dogs in a hamper for dinner tonight.
