So while preparing something to slow cook for dinner tonight, my wife informs me that the handle on our crockpot has broken off (my fault) leaving a metal stub showing. I suggest she uses a damp washcloth or pliers to turn the knob. She tells me "OK" and hangs up. I later call her back after a small amount of time had passed when she tells me she's got the appliance working. I asked her if she used the damp washcloth or the pliers. She responds, "No, I used the hammer".......
For a split second, I was puzzled and bewildered. My mind raced trying to picture how she used the hammer to resolve the issue. A hammer is what I used for most situations ranging from stopped pipes or frozen food or naught pomeranians or whatever. I wondered how she would "bang out" a solution on something like a crockpot..
She somehow KNEW I was perplexed. Not wanting to keep me in suspense, she then told me "I used the tiny hammer you got me, you know, the claw part"......
I was both relieved and disappointed..
I guess you had to be there...
