The GOOD:
My mower started on the first pull.
The grass has now been mowed.

The BAD:
Now I swear I do NOT have a penis obsession,
but this is the "Gas-Can-On-Viagra".

It was the only model available at our local hardware store ($17.98).

There are so many things WRONG with this "new" spout...
1) the red tip-closure is almost impossible to unscrew
2) the "pressure-relief" action is difficult and awkward
3) the spout has to be held to allow the gas to flow
4) the spout does not bend to allow the can to be positioned
5) the closure at tip sprays gas in a fan, rather than flowing smoothly
6) when the spout is stored inside the can, gas will leak out the fitting.

For me, it seemed that every movement or action I tried ended up
with more gas spreading on the spout, the can, the ground, and my hands.

I may accidentally leave it in the yard when I follow xoB's suggestion.
