Several years ago I was sitting in a pub in Ireland (drinking a non-alcoholoic beverage of course!) and I noticed a fellow down at the end of the bar who was rhythmically pounding himself on the head with a hammer. I asked the bartender what he was doing.

"And isn't he hitting himself over the head with a hammer?" responded the proprietor as he pulled a Guiness (I ALWAYS sit near the tap to cut down the time between beers).

"Yeah, I noticed that, but why?"

"And wouldn't it be because it feels so good when he stops?"
