Decision:
This is it! This is what I came up with. This is what they rejected:
Hank has a problem: he currently suffers from too much continuous stress and tension at work.
In fact, Hank is not currently at work. No, its late night Tuesday, and Hank is working in his basement sharpening his axe on the grinding wheel.
If you asked Hank what he was going to use his newly honed axe for, why he'd probably look you in the eye and say in a halting, laughing voice, "Oh... I don't know. I'm sure I can find... some use for it. Perhaps at work." Then his expression would flatline out and he'd return to sharpening the head, humming a tuneless ditty from his youth.
Continuous stress and tension at work can sometimes cause abrupt changes in a person's psyche - just look at Hank. He needs to take a break at work before something bad happens. What Hank needs is an Ice Cream Social!!!

Let's Continue...
Yep, it was rejected even with the three exstatic exclaimation points at the end. But rejection did not stop the development of Hank. A core constituency petitioned me to continue the Hank theme, sort of an Adventures o' Hank thingy. I gladly took up the task.
Next, see how Hank fared in his youth at the dentist.
