The need for a husband

[kimberkit]

The other day, I spent an hour or so banging on the top of an olive oil bottle I couldn't get open. I ran it under hot water, only at that point my hands were wet and I was so frustrated that this accomplished nothing. I gave up, and cooked with a whole stick of butter instead (and my chicken turned out very yummy, thank you).

Yesterday, my friends J and T came over; they'd recently come back from their honeymoon in Amsterdam, and had fun photos and stories to share. I told this story to T, and he walked over, opened up the olive bottle with a single twist, and said with a wry grin, "you need a husband, too?"

I went online and got a bottle opener from OXO instead.

Men are like an all in one gadget. :) You don't need one to survive, but it's a nice luxury item.

Yeah; maybe I should get a corkscrew.

(There's got to be some way that that makes sense. I don't know what it is, but the part of my brain which comes up with short responses wandered in that direction.)

Despite having a boy, yeah, a bottle opener is better than a boy in that it is always there when you need it. But they do have so many other funcions. *looks innocent* *fails*

That thing *does* look like an instrument of torture...

Gollly, random flickr folk wander into my LJ now. I didn't think it was possible. Awesome. I love your LJ, btw.
