    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mrs. Ludlum took an axe

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

    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?
