    I don’t get it. 1)He can’t open the can. If he’s supposed to be crushing it, he’s is awfully stupid to hold it that way. 2)She takes it. 3)Okay.. gotta be it was empty and she crushed it.. what’s on the floor… label? What kind of can is THAT?

    Is there really supposed to be some humor here?

    Patience and perseverance work. I had a jar of something I couldn’t open. I couldn’t get anything under the rim to break the seal. None of my big strong menfolk could open it, no matter how they strained. So just as I was about to see if our big plumber’s pipe wrench would work, I gave it one more try — and it opened easily.

    Heating the lid often works, but don’t use a blow-torch for the heat.

    Or just smash it, like she did!

    Take a beer can opener, or an ice pick, and make a hole in the lid, (which you can tape over with duct tape after) and it breaks the vacuum, making it easy to open.
