New use for dykes

[Wingnut1]

I thought they were for cleaning rugs.

I don't understand the comment, what's a rug or last time you seen one:lol:

I thought they were for cleaning rugs.

Still true, but I believe the language has gone upscale, and now the "rugs" are called carpets.

I really cannot speak to the quality of work, but I doubt my grandmother would accept anything she might have called "a lick and a promise".

Frankly, I would never have thought of using them to open beer...

Put one of these covers on your i-telephone and you won't need a pair of dykes to open your beer

I don't get it, but I'm sure it's meant to be offensive. How sad, on an otherwise fine forum.

I use my tungsten carbide wedding band or my war amps key chain. Don't know what the keychain is made of but it is tough as all hell.

Depending on the shape of the bottle, you can also use another unopened bottle to open a beer bottle. Just choke up on the neck of one bottle and then turn the other bottle upside-down. Slip the edge of the bottle cap on the upside-down bottle under the edge of the cap on the right-side up bottle and use the index finger of your bottom hand as a leverage point. Lever the top bottle downward and it will pry the cap off of just the bottom bottle, if you do it correctly.

Pro tips:

- You may need to align the "teeth" of the bottle caps so that they grab each other to get this technique to work properly.

- If this is your only means of opening your beverages, you'll end up with one lonely soldier, unable to join his barley-brothers in the fizzy afterlife, at some point.

- Make sure to shock-and-awe everyone with this trick early; it becomes increasingly more difficult to do without making a mess as the night wears on.

Problem is that there is never a bottle opener handy when I need it. Same goes for a corkscrew.

... Same goes for a corkscrew.

There's a way around that too.

More amps are better, but only with approved relays.
