My experience is that when comedy fails, it's the comedian's fault. Even when the material is terrific and the crowd is lame, the fault is the comedian not reading the room.

A comedian blaming the crowd is like a carpenter blaming the hammer.

Sometimes, the crowd is the joke

Well the hammer in question has a wooden head and a metal handle.

I have a metal handled wooden mallet, bet it's done more actual work than 99.9% of hammers.

I'm a forklift mechanic and every comment above mine is full of shit.

My hair is a bird, your argument is invalid

Props if true, that's a hard job. I'm a field service engineer(glorified mechanic) for shit that couldn't arrive on site, much less be installed without forklifts.

The way to reset the error codes on a Crown PC4500 pallet jack is to scroll to service using the onboard menu and enter the four digit password, select Events, and go to 3.2, 3.2.1 if you're on older firmware and hit enter.

There are 8 bolts in the stock wheel of an SP3500. 4 holding the motor down, 5 holding the dash on and four holding the top two light panels, two on each side and a fan on the right. Every bolt holding the frame of the panel is 9/16in and is held on with a lockwasher.

Me, who has used wrenches and the back of a hatchet to drive in nails: I don't think it matters.

Mallets are usually used for striking surfaces, hammers are usually used for driving something into something.

I'm all confused now, what am I doing driving pins into their sockets with my dead blow mallet by striking them on the surface of their head? :)
