What is SquidHammer?

As shown in the illustration below, the squidhammer is often not at hand. Or at least not handy.

If it were spelled differently, the squidhammer would be a recursive acronym. Like GNU software. What is GNU? Gnu is Not Unix. The squidhammer is like that except its got nothing to do with software or Unix.

Though of ancient origin, the word was first used in English by Shakespear in Richard IV:

Sir, get thee a squidhammer to oppose our beak'd foes of the dark and briny deepe

Squidhammer

Where's the damn squidhammer when I need it?
