May 26, 2009: Tapster

[xoxoxoBruce]

Feeling a little hung over today?
Little too much beer yesterday?

Well it's not your fault, Bunky. Those beer brewers, conspiring with the container companies, make it too damn easy.
They've made the containers too easy to open... all it takes is a little pop, or twist, or flip, to get the suds flowing like
the Mississippi River. Why it's a wonder more people don't drown.

Now back in the day, when we walked through 2 feet of snow, uphill both ways, beer cans were steel.
We had to work to get them open and that was after we searched for the church key. Likely as not after all that activity,
we had to wait for the suds to settle down a little before we could drink it, too.

Of course the rich people could afford a Tapster...



Revere up in Rome, NY, made this handy item so the hired help... or the spouse if you weren't really rich but just acting uppity...
could pop a cold can in the Tapster and pour. Just closing the lid opened the can.

Ain't that classy?
