I am, it is safe to say, not a practical man. The few attempts I've made to hammer in a nail have ended in broken thumbs, burst pipes, and water spraying everywhere with the house on fire.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do think a carpenter needs a good hammer to bang in the nail.
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
There is a joke that your hammer will always find nails to hit. I find that perfectly acceptable.
As a technology, the book is like a hammer. That is to say, it is perfect: a tool ideally suited to its task. Hammers can be tweaked and varied but will never go obsolete. Even when builders pound nails by the thousand with pneumatic nail guns, every household needs a hammer.
No one likes getting their nails done more than I do.
I'm practical. I see something, and I do it.
I'm a very practical person.
I am very practical.
I feel like I'm ready for any dangerous situation that might come my way, provided I have a hammer on me.
In this world a man must either be anvil or hammer.
