I dropped my hammer on my foot, last weekend, and said the same thing.

I've seen the video of the speech in which MLK exclaimed this. He was behind a podium, so I'm not sure if the hammer dropped or not. I'm sorry to hear that yours did. So, I guess you can now add a new verse to the song If I Had Hammer. I'm also hopeful that you didn't sustain a hammer toe in this instance.

This thread really seems to be taking off!

What are those sharks called, the ones with a hammer-shaped head?

Ah.. Carpenters? Contractors?

Right between the eyes, Kenny Boy.
Don't forget lawyers and plumbers though.

Wrong, wrong. wrong. They're called reefer sharks, man. Peace brothers and sisters and ATC.

Thanks Oren. It is very comforting to know that when I have a serious question, at least there is someone there who will help me with my linguistical issues!

We call them hammer head sharks. I suppose because their heads look like hammers. We don't call our hammers, for some reason, sharks. Isn't that weird?
