We use those round rubber things to pull our arrows out of the wall at the archery range. Very handy that flexible rubber circle thingie.

OMG! If you wrote this from scratch, you are extraordinarily talented. Seriously. I am going to print it. You didn’t miss a single angle. I’ll confess, as it went on, I was afraid you would mess up and say the young lady put the fix in and the poor young fellow would have to precisely time a bit of flatulence for the sound effect, but you kept it classy.

Kudos!

P.S. I don’t know if you write pieces often, but, if so, I’d like to be on the ping list.

That’s what I do. My opener has a magnet on back, so I keep it attached to side of fridge...always handy!

In the events creating that memory, neither the trailer hitch nor the knee cap was broken.

I did my best not to stagger as i set her in her chair.

Thank you very much. Yes, I write these pieces stream-of-consciousness and hit the post button. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I will think about doing a ping list here.

So taking some string, lighter fluid, and a match would likely not be considered masculine at all.

And, yes, I am from Florida. It's a thing.

1978. First bottle of wine with a cork in Connecticut. No corkscrew. Lag bolt, pair of vise grips.

The "science" solution.

Which I learned from my seventh grade science teacher.

I've tried them all and the two that work the best are that one and using that jar opener tool from Pampered Chef.

Well written! Thank you.

That said, one needs also to remember to put the pickle jar on a smooth hard surface so as not to spill pickle juice whilst twisting and turning.

Man tip. Work smarter not harder. But not too easy…..same with ketchup or syrup.

“The struggle is real.” Yeah, cultural appropriation. Sue me.

If you pre-loosen the lid, or worse if SHE OR HER MOTHER pre-loosen the lid, you must instantly burn your man card, because Every.Man.Will.Know. and offer you nothing but scorn.

I use the same end of the can opener. All you need is to release the vacuum seal. Like you said, easy.

"But what if I simply open it with relish?"


You also might want to open it with aplomb.
