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.
