No Corkscrew?

[Tom]

Ever not have a corkscrew?
You have to watch it - the guy doesn't speak
any english - but - you can tell what he is doing.

Incroyable!

I never imagined. My corkscrew broke one night and I had to just push the cork in. Next time I'll try a shoe.

Same happened to me one nght DE, I used a framing hammer. It didnt work so good. I too wish I would have tought of a shoe.LOL

 

[Mud]

Last week I drove a 3" drywall screw into a cork and then pulled it out with a pair of pliers. Surely the shoe method would be preferable for polite company.

 

[arcticsid]

depends whose shoe it was. Kind of embarrasing to ask a guest for their shoe dont you think?

Guess that won't work with my heels, huh?

OH! I forgot you are in the "back woods" and you don't wear shoes?

Troy. You could of use your shoe to get that moose out. If you only had a shoe handy.

Something to remember. That is so cool.

Wow~I so had to share...next time I am stranded on a deserted island and a bottle of wine floats up, I can use my 1 good shoe to partake.

Only if you have a wall to bang it against.

that was pretty cool though.

That is awesome Tom, thanks for sharing that! I will have to try that!!!!!!!!!! Ive done what Mud did a few times with the screw and the claws of a hammer.

I wonder if that's how the wino's open their bottles? Can't imagine them carrying around a cork screw.

Another method to open beer bottles:

Desparate times would call for desparate measures...I would use the base of a coconut tree or my stomach if I had to!

 

[non-grapenut]

that helicopter thing was way cool, too, Larry

done that a few times myself. sucks when it pulls out just the screw though

 

[djrockinsteve]

I tried the shoe method yesterday on a bottle of pear wine. Didn't work for me. Guess I don't have big feet.......and you know what they say about guys with big feet?

They need big shoes!

 

[Wade E]

Ill have to try that helicopter method also!!!!!!!! Yeah right!
