Ready for a night’s work of vampire hunting.

“I’ve been working on the railroad, all the live-long day and now IT’S HAMMER TIME FOR YOU!”

Maxwell had a friendly little smile, but when she turned her back on him…Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer came down upon her head. Ruined her whole day.

With the Coronavirus and all, the Grim Reaper has been busy. So he’s interviewing for an assistant.

Darth Maul.

“Got any nuts ya want cracked?”

Looks startlingly like my grandmother.

ol’ holzfäller looks like he’s been whacked upside the head by one too many branches…

The “Song of Deborah” (Judg. 5:24-26) :

Extolled above women be Jael,

Extolled above women in the tent.

He asked for water, she gave him milk;

She brought him cream in a lordly dish.

She stretched forth her hand to the nail,

Her right hand to the workman’s hammer,

And she smote Sisera; she crushed his head,

She crashed through and transfixed his temples.

“I’ll show you how to get a square peg into a round hole. “

Silver medal winner of the “Holding The Most Difficult Pose For Duration Of Painting” contest -—- I heard that the gold medal went to a group of Chinese acrobats.

I’ve never heard of the paper towel guy?

“Dr. Cohen, I’m here for the circumcision”

It’s a female Dwarf (No wonder those seven guys decided to share Snow White instead)

Rail spliter

The hipster before he decided to grow a beard.

The stuff of which nightmares are made!

Hi – I’m your new Nanny. I “never” have problems with my charges.

No, no, no. You’re holding the spike this time.

It’s “Der Holzfäller“. Lumberjack or woodcutter? when I think of a lumberjack, I think of a worker in the timber industry who cuts down trees and brings them in to be processed into commercial building material. I think of a woodcutter as somebody who goes out and brings in wood for use as fuel, selling it locally to households. Given the size of this guy’s axe and that he’s carrying a wedge for splitting logs, I’m thinking more lumberjack.

“Well, there was this song I used to like about if I had a hammer. Somehow I thought it would be more fulfilling. . . .”

Who ?

Napoleon’s cousin?

Orsen Bean’s first job was as a log-splitter in Vermont. He lasted only long enough to have this picture taken.

“Somebody here have a problem with constipation?”

I don’t dare leave a comment here – because I couldn’t match all the witty and wonderful comments thus far! Kudos, readers! I bow to you all!

Mrs. Ludlum took an axe

And gave the artist 40 whacks for drawing her that way.

Bob Newhart decided to steal the “Lumberjack Skit” from Monty Python.

Food packaging gets harder and harder to deal with.

He was known as especially good/ at his job – which was butchering wood./ He was given to quips/ such as “I’m in the chips !”/ But he wasn’t, as all understood..

“Hurry up and finish painting, Ritter. I’ve gotta split.”

Great moments in phallic . . . . nevermind. :)

Well, what did you think Kris Kringle did during the off months?

“Who is it who gets the wedgie?”

Mike Hammer – before Mickey Spillane made him famous.

Looks like Mitch the B!tch without his glasses. Hopefully turtles are immune from Corona.

Hilda paused a few minutes on her way to work to have her picture taken.

In her later years, Lizzie Borden developed something of a Napoleon complex.

Based on a joke I heard long ago …

Hello. Thanks for inviting me to the party. I left my teeth at home like you asked. Now what was all the “hammerin’” and “nailin’” that you were talking about?. It’s just us that have showed up so far?
