Picture this: a long shot of a carnival, all brightly lit against the darkness, glowing in the background. A tall, well-built man with auburn hair stands in the foreground with his back to “the camera.” He wears a white 30s-vintage shirt and black gaberdine pants with suspenders. Perhaps he wears a bowler hat, perhaps a fedora. In one hand, he holds a hammer; in the other, he holds a rose. No wait, he holds the hammer and the rose in the same hand. Then what’s the other hand doing? And a bowler? Seriously? Fedoras? Aren’t those too Indiana Jones? Oh wait, this is a period piece set in the 30s? Maybe that might make a difference…

What’s he holding and wearing?

  • I like the hammer in one hand, the rose in the other.
  • I like the hammer and the rose in one hand. You don’t need the other hand to be doing anything.
  • I don’t mind bowlers.
  • I like fedoras better.
  • Haven’t fedoras been done to death?
  • Bowlers make me think of Laurel and Hardy.
  • Bowlers make me think of Magritte.
  • But seriously, the hammer in one hand, the rose in the other.
  • I ain’t kidding: the hammer and rose in one hand.
  • Something else which I’ll talk about in the comments.
