Can Opening
 

When you really gotta get in that can and KY won't help, here's the emergency procedure.
If you only have a plastic spoon... eat it.

Those weren't peaches.

...and that wasn't a Chinese made spoon!

Have y'all noticed that the rim of the cans have a smaller edge so that my electric can opener that I have had for 20 years bought in a yard sale won't open the can. I have to cock the can up and try several times. I started to call DelMonte and complain about this, but I noticed all the cans on store shelves have the new low lip.

It's called, "Don't make 'em like they usta". I've been hearing that term since I was knee high to a grasshopper. :haha:

I have a p47 on my key ring. Don't leave home without it!

ooh, you've moved up from a P38.
But what if the reason you're in the predicament in the first place is you lost your damn keys? :lol2:

Hah! My P48 is the latest in can opening technology! I'm not scairt of losing my keys - at least when it comes to opening cans - I have a spare P38/48 stashed in with my camping gear. A regular straw in a haystack! ;)

I have to go down to the beach for a military surplus p48. The stores at Myrtle Beach have almost anything for sale. Almost like Manhattan except no one is hawking hot goods at alley ways. I could have bought a 140hp Evinrude still in the wood crate, but I didn't have a boat back then. I have to see if there are new electric openers for the new cans at Walmart.

What the hell happened to the video? First there was a black square with a frown face and now nothing.

It worked when I clicked on it just now. :confused:

Yeah, I can see it now, but at one this morning it was playing pirate then probably went out to take a leak 'cause it was gone. I should have done a screen capture. :confused:

Mule and Bruce, you two are Very Very Frightening.
At least, if you fly by in that order.

This is the one to keep at home. There are a lot, I have "T-fal". It cuts around the side instead of around the top so the lid can actually go back on. I don't remember it not working at any point.

I have the same one and I really like it

Oh speaking of P-38s. I was at this campout a few years back. It's a gay event, an annual thing, though not as gay as you might expect, since it's a campout in the state park. There are, however, a disproportionate amount of RVs being brought in.

Anyway, that year it was a "military" theme, so they had a contest to see if any of us queens could operate a P-38, with predictably hilarious results. I think a couple actually managed it.

A couple?!

A P-38 is a strictly solo instrument. Although I suppose if you wanted to share the work, one could grip the cylinder and the other could work the top until it comes off. I can see that.

That's not proof--mere speculation.

Please don't give him proof.
