Today, due to a hammer-related incident, instead of receiving glass ornaments as gifts from my trip to Venice, my friends will be receiving novelty postcards of Michelangelo's David's penis. FML

Stop_HammerTime tells us more.

The truth is actually much dumber than some of you are giving me credit for, and definitely warrants a YDI. I'd bought a few small glass things for my friends from Venice. They were all packaged so they made it off the plane fine. When I got home I put them down and started nailing up posters that I'd got in the museums on my visit. I put the hammer down on a pile of boxes while I went to get more nails, which was dumb, and it fell off onto the ornaments. The novelty postcards were all I had left.

I really want to know the story behind this.

I'll play it out for you guys. OP is at home, chilling. Suddenly, wall caves in. Don't ask how, that's disrespectful. Never disrespect a man whose walls have caved in. Anyways, he calls his handyman friend. He comes over to fix that shit, says for free. Little did OP know, free fixes are an invitation for a hammer party. Long story short, all his friends are invited to bring hammers, run around house swinging them. One hits OP's fine china cabinet, one hits his nuts. That's my highly scientific theory, anyway.

Damn it, that's the first thing that popped into my head. :-P

I think by saying it was a "hammer related incident," OP is saying that they got hammered and sent out some strange postcards.

That seems like a spot of bad luck. I still can't help but wonder why all you had left as gifts was postcards of a penis.

Hopefully your friends had as much of a laugh at this story as I did. Sorry, OP! I still don't think you deserved it, though!

Why do your postcards have penii? O_o

Or are they just pictures of statues with overly embellished penii?

Are you afraid to type penis #45?

I think #14 had a great play-by-play of what should of happened.

#64 No they think they're being clever by using a horribly wrong faux-Latin plural.

that's exactly what I'd pictured. lol. I don't know where the confusion came in, really.

that is truly some bad luck. im pretty clumsy myself so I know the feeling.

It's actually penises, not penii. Stop trying to look clever, it's not working.

So penii is not the plural of penis? ._.

Still wondering why you got penis postcards but at least you're honest ^^

Anyways, I wasn't trying to be clever, I was just making an (admittedly bad) joke. ;~; That said, it is extremely embarrassing to re-read my comments here.

It's the thought that counts! Your friends will get a good laugh from the story once they know

"Penises" is the plural of "penis".

Actually, the only reason I feel this warrants a YDI is for putting up posters with nails. :)

Actually... Peni/penii is the singular of penis, so peni would be correct.

Nobody wants tacky glass ornaments, but who doesn't love a penis postcard.

This one was wild from start to finish
