Use of primitive tools

I saw an interesting event on Jay Jeno last night: Memebrs of the five armed services were trying to open a can of cranberry sauce using a Swiss army knife. It was horrible. None of them seemed to have a clear idea how to use the can opener attachment, in fact I am pretty sure some of them used the wrong attachment. Four of them managed eventually at a cost of some injuries and the cans were mangled. One failed to empty the can in the alloted time. Hard to believe they never saw a swiss army knife before. On a camping trip, my brother and I raced using the swiss army knife against the P-38 or "John Wayne" as it was called when I was in. My brother beat me everytime with the Swiss.

Wes When I try to hurry with my Chinese Army Knife's can opener it leaves nasty splinters. The little screwdriver blade on the end will do Phillips heads if they aren't too tight. jsw |
