We used to refer to certain guys in the Marine Corps as the kind of guy who could screw up a crow bar.
 
"You could lock him in a padded room with two steel bowling balls
and come back an hour later to find one was broken and the other was missing."

Hand me the big hammer so I don't have to force it.
 
Dad always said "you'll never earn a living farming". I always said "That's ok; there's more to a living than money". I hadn't the heart to tell him that doing what he did: working 40 years at the Factory, would be the death of me.

Dad's been gone since '91. The factory shut down shortly thereafter, and I'm still working with critters and dirt, and will be until they get me out of bed in the morning with a body bag.
 
It looks like someone sure tried! We say, "He
could tear up an anvil with a rubber hammer." No matter how you put it, there are those who can come mighty close!
 
They could f--k up a digging iron in a sand box.
We had a neighbor that always seemed to have problems whenever they tried to do anything.
My last year was similar with the equipment breakdowns.
 
One of my old mentors (called Wimpy) use to refer to guys like that as 'weevil hands'. (as in cotton boll weevil) lol He used to come up with some good ones. Unfortunately I have forgotten a lot of them. Loved that old guy's humor. He used to worked security at one of the local dances. Didn't tote a firearm, just a big stick off a pecan tree. Nobody messed with him.
