Which in turn reminds me of the old saying about Richard Nixon’s 1972 campaign, “Never change threads in the middle of a screw.” Brilliant, Ira, as always. My favorite line is, “It took a while, but after a week or two. . . .”

Thanks. I had been playing around with “Tool” terms for story title, but finally went with the History thing.

My son has just suggested a new slogan that he says he just made up:

“When you work with The Hammer,
you WILL get screwed.”

I like it!

There is an old saying: “when your only tool is a hammer then every thing starts to look like a nail”.
