And when I saw my hammer flying helplessly through the air like that, I just couldn't take it. That apparently didn't make any difference whatsoever to Dad, because he just grabbed my hammer out of my hand and flung it across the field. I was just letting the hammer swing lazily at arm's length, and maybe it tapped the fence once or twice, but that's all. I swear, what I did next was not hammering. "I'm afraid I have some news for you," he said. Then, he just grabbed my arm and made me stop. But I just kept on hammering, 'cause that's the way I am when I get that hammer going. Dad tried to physically stop me from hammering by inserting a small log of some sort between my hammer and the fence. Hammering away, happy as an old hammer dog. As soon as I heard "You can hammer," that's what I started doing. "Look," he said, "you can hammer later, but first-" Well, I didn't even wait to hear the rest. I think he felt bad for yelling at me, especially since it looked like he had bad news. I did stop hammering, but first I got a couple more hammers in, and this seemed to make Dad mad. Dad asked me to stop hammering, as he had some news.

"I'm just hammering." With that, I returned to my hammering. "Son," he said, "why are you hammering on that fence? It already has plenty of nails in it." "Oh, I'm not using nails," I replied. I continued to hammer as he came toward me. He was carrying a letter or something in his hand, and he looked worried. I remember I was hammering on a fence in the backyard when Dad approached. I have shared this Jack Handey story so many times, and not once have I been able to make it through without multiple interruptions of laughing and attempts to re-read what I couldn't make it through.
