It’s Called a Hammer
This today from TMZ (by way of MomLogic.com) regarding Hillary Clinton and coconuts:
Apparently Chelsea wanted to try a coconut when she was 4-years-old, and Hill tried to grant her daughter’s wish. The Senator managed to find a coconut in Arkansas, but couldn’t crack it when she finally got it home. Even hubby Bill, a Rhodes Scholar, was at a loss. With 50 years of education between her and the former prez, Hillary confessed neither one of them could figure out how to break open that nut.
Note to Hill and Bill: It’s called a hammer. *
Let’s hope that 3 A.M. call won’t be about an imminent monkey attack. Hey, I’ve seen Planet of the Apes, thank you very much!
*You might want to hammer a nail into the coconut first to make a couple small holes and drain the milk before going all Lizzie Borden on its fuzzy hide.

before going all Lizzie Borden on its fuzzy hide.
I originally wrote “Annie Wilkes”(from Stephen King’s Misery) but changed it in hopes of a more universally recognized reference. Are we at the point where Lizzie Borden is also too obscure?

not too obscure — she just didn’t use a hammer. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizzie_Borden)

I considered that, but decided for a general swinging/smashing motion, “Gave her coconut 40 whacks,” type thing I’d go for it anyway. It’s kinda hard to come up with a good cutesy reference there.
(Would someone call Guinness and find out if that is the first time in history Lizzie Borden has been called a “cutesy reference,” please? Thank you.)
Yep, that’s the same link I used in the article body.
(Except mine got munged by the “http://” disappearing, which I wouldn’t have notice had you not commented, so thank you.)
Thanks for reading.
