Rubber Gloves are the Answer

I currently seem to have issues with the opening of various receptacles; bottles, tins, cans and that sort of thing. I like to think that I can do these things for myself, give it a go, even though I'll inevitably go to Mystical Roo for his assistance. However, in the absence of Mystical Roo I'm often left to fend for myself and end up arguing with inanimate objects. I recently engaged in an epic battle with a bottle of lime drink. After numerous failed attempts at unscrewing the lid I wondered if sawing the top off was a legitimate idea. After realising I had nothing to "saw" with I did discover a screwdriver, which I promptly used to stab a hole in the top of the lid. Effective but ultimately not the ideal way to get to your lime drink. I have since discovered the rubber glove method of opening bottle tops and even things like jam jars. Anything with a screw on lid I guess. Basically, using a rubber glove to open a lid gives you excellent grip, thus allowing easy opening of...whatever it is you're trying to open. I did in fact use the rubber glove method this morning to open a ginger beer. The next thing I need to investigate is, when your tin-opener is broken, how do you get into a can of tuna when the ring pull has just snapped?!
