Life Hacks: How to Open a Can Of Food Without Openers in an Emergency, and a wine bottle with t a corkscrew and tell Irish Jokes

The comments are hilarious.

When would you have a can and no can opener?

Your budget allows for buying a can of tinned food from a nearby shop but not a can opener.

Hotel
When travelling to a hotel where you might arrive after the restaurant has closed. If you are lucky you may be in a five star hotel which has 24 hour room service. But if its late and you are tired you don't want to wait 30 minutes whilst they cook up a meal. You may also be unwilling to pay their inflated prices and risk getting spicy food or food not meeting your diet requirements.

Moving House And/Or Overseas
When moving house which may be overseas and your kitchenware will take 3 weeks to arrive.

When popping down to a corner shop when you are in a guest house and the corner shop sells cheap cutlery but no can openers.

Hotel
You are in a hotel and have a can of food. The hotel has cutlery but not tin openers.

Emergency Bag
In Japan which is prone to earthquakes I am told everybody keeps an emergency bag by the front door to grab when they rush out in an emergency.

Swiss Army Knife
We used to travel with a Swiss army knife which includes a can opener.

Then planes started banning knives.The first time we lost a knife. The second time we were carrying a stamped self addressed envelope just in case we accidentally took something we needed to post home. Sure enough we did. The Swiss army knife still in the suitcase from the last trip by train within the country and the trips in the car.

We were able to go back through security and post it and then come back through security.

Granny's Tips
I plan to be the perfect President of the club and the grand granny who has an answer for every question. Here's one of those 'I wish I had known this earlier' moments. How to open a can without a can opener. Holding a meeting and buying a can of fish to provide a quick nutritious protein meal. Arrive at a hotel after the restaurant has closed. I wish I had known this when i moved house and unpacked the tins of food but a half hour wait before we found the can opener.
Another tip - always keep an old knife, for and spoon in the bottom drawer of your kitchen. Then you have something to hand out when your spouse or handyman (or woman or person) asks do you have a knife, or fork or spoon, without damaging your best crockery.
