The why can't women open jars thread.

[Leylo]

Keep it the way it is. I wouldn't want any women who can open jars giving me hand relief, that's for sure.

Police on the way for telling fibs only needs a finger and thumb ?

Simple answer has gotta be you use the same muscles to piss up a wall as you do to open a troublesome jar.
Hence the ladies and their continuing struggles.

There is no other logical explanation

(I'm about 11 spliffs in, no alcohol)

?I’m not having that, my Dad used to always say give the jar to Lynsey, she’s got hands like a vice ?, I was the undefeated school arm wrestling champion

What kind of party requires 22 jars of beetroot?

One for each table. Simple really.

 

[BNJ1878]

Simpler way is to run the top under hot water, metal expands when heated and besides the food won't go off so quick because there's no hole in the lid ?

I put the knife end between the metal lip and the glass, hold both together in my hand and tap the butt of the knife down on the counter top. It's usually enough to break the vacuum that's keeping it tight.

There's one brand of piccalilli that I have never managed to open without using this method. Ridiculous.

The secret to getting the lid off is sawdust.

 

[JLW]

Twist the jar and not the lid


Or if that fails stick it in some rice

"So did you get everything for the party?"

"Yes love, the 22 jars of beetroot are in the cupboard"
