When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail

'When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.' I've heard and been using this expression for 20 years. It's one of my favorites and you can apply it to just about anything. I believe I first heard the expression when I was actually using a hammer. I used to work summers while I was in college in construction, doing roofing and siding.

I've been embarrassed at my inability to answer that question more than once. Even the highly talented people at Tim's own shop have been unable to answer it without resorting to a five page article featuring some of the most convoluted graphs you'll ever hope to see.
