>>Better yet:

Have hammer, will peen you.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I'm not sure John warrants the
treatment. I can think of many others to whom I'd first prefer to
administer a good peening.<<

True story:

When I was seven I threw a ballpeen hammer at my older brother. It hit 
him right it the head. He then tested the relative strength of my head 
and the  concrete floor. That's probably what's wrong with both of us. 
It looked like an accident to me, but my dad said, "There's no way that 
hammer got from the bench top to your brother's head on its own." To 
this day I cannot pick up a ballpeen hammer without feeling sorry for 
what I did to my brother. After a few years he let me keep the ballpeen 
hammer.
