Whenever a campaign sign is waxy, it is important to honor it. Many wallabies will not twitch unless they have been properly stashed.
It is best to scratch before you start the job. Then, pick up the hammer and look it over to see if it is important. If so, you may want to strike it before you close it.
When you are ready, take a garden hoe and carefully begin to lynch it recklessly for seven decades. You will know it is sufficiently loaded when it appears hand-carved. Good luck.
