I can grip something harder palm down then palm up:

1. Grab lid w/right hand palm down
2. Grab jar base w/left hand palm up. (easier grab,
since there's more to grab.
3. Hold it about a foot from the chest
4. Grip and draw it into your chest. *pop*

1. Whack lid straight down on counter top.
2. Twist off lid.
