I’ve never heard that particular construction; my grandmother always said, “You could tear up a cannonball in a sandbox with a rubber hammer.” Usually said in relation to something my stepfather had done. ---

> [@Sunrazor](#): > > Organize a blow job on prom night I couldn’t and didn’t. ;( Her best friend supplied condoms, I gave her weed and cocaine and drove her to the best after-prom party. Problem: She had started showing interest in me a long time before the prom and when I didn’t return it she started dating another dude, and she was still dating him when prom came around. Looking back, I wasn’t as interested in her as I apparently convinced myself on prom night, so I guess I was leading her on and it was smart of her not to let it go any further. I blame the cocaine. (Actually, I was just a cocky and insecure bastard.) Hey, wait, we’re in an insult thread. Sorry. Carry on. ---
