2008.... iiih it's too horrible to continue!


Walter, Walter, what have you done???!!!

Kids, I declare the year 2006, to be that year, when the "hammer" was
invented.

...and since then, we have to pay suddenly 3-10 times more for the good ol
falls afflicted
and each and every falls-addicted prays, whenever the news of a possible
fall or shower goes round, that no crumb hasn't hit anything else but the
ground, for him being able still to afford a little piece.

It started as a harmless fun and was turned into a very successful marketing
campaign.
Respect!

And we're singing: Hit the Road, Jack!

PS: The holes hysteria wasn't so everlasting.
Maybe we could combine them..
Hammers with holes, which hit holes...
