Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
They were lucky it only went straight up. Otherwise someone would have to peel them from the walls right now (or the walls of the neighbors’ houses).
I had a trainee-barman working in the same pub as me… I sent him down to change a barrel… He was supposed to know how… in theory…
The pipes have a bayonet safety fixing… Half a turn to swap barrels… but sometimes they stick…
A barrel empty of beer but full of CO² gas is a lethal weapon… Instead of releasing the bayonet fixing… he’d unscrewed the valve… The valve missed his head by inches… shot up through the cellar ceiling… into the bar above and embedded itself in the bar ceiling…
If he’d been leaning over that barrel a little further… it would’ve taken his head off…
Reminded me of a similar experience in the USAF. As a hydraulic mechanic working on the B47’s, were always told to NEVER fool with the “schrader valve” on the oxygen tanks located in the front wheelwell. And if ya had to, make sure THEY WERE EMPTY before doing so, or you’d more than likely loose fingers or at least the hand when or if they let go !

My father once twisted the neck off of a glass jar. “That sucker was really on there.”
(Minor cut to his hand.)

So that was supposed to be a glass jar? I’m open to any other interpretations.

Better use the contents quick – it will be hard to keep it fresh now.

I hope you can strain the glass out if you’re going to eat it.

Getting the top off a jar? I’d call that a big spell! (-:

So this should be a lesson to Blanche that next time she has a stuck jar to go to someone else to open it!

And this is why you never ask a wizard to open ANY jar.
Doug Taylor Premium Member almost 5 years ago
and don’t ask Leonard to open it either!

I needed that spell on a pickle jar yesterday.

Blanch seems to have found that shattering experience somewhat jarring.

Dear cartoonist, it would have helped to label the jar. Mayo anyone?

Mythbusters tested what happens when the valve is knocked off of an air tank. Went through a block wall.
