The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 03, 2014

At that point your best bet is a trash bag. Most of the stuff that turns up in those drawers isn’t worth the effort to sell.

I have two jar-opening clampy thingies: one at the end of each arm.

Prying up with a bottle opener until the button pops up works good too.

I like Douglas Adams’ story about the life cycle of ratchet screwdrivers. They’re bought, used once, placed in a drawer for a while where they morph into the next phase of their lifecycle as an unidentifiable plastic thing with a wire and a flange at one end

Sorry Larry.

You never, never, EVER put the gizmo drawer and junk drawer in the same room!.my clampie thing doesn’t work for me. I use a piece of rubber (circle) with ridges. Or turn the jar upside down, and give it a few sharp knocks on the bottom with the blunt end of a knife.

I have rheumatoid arthritis so I use this.

Imagine the monsters that could come out of a cross-breeding like that …

Good one.
