Free Range by Bill Whitehead for May 26, 2024

Don’t be “screwed” by nefarious imitators.

A service I may need someday. I have one of those electric openers, but not everything fits in it. I have lots of hand leverage things, but sometimes that’s not enough. Occasionally even my husband’s hands fail. By then I’m ticked off and go use something else! :D

Would he be considered a free mason?

As he streamed off into the night, she heard his Battle Cry: “Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey!”

Everyone has a super power.

I swear when I get to this lady’s stage, some little kid is going to make a fortune!

There’s an old joke that the only reason women keep men around is so that they can open jars for them.

If gloves don’t work then for small caps I use pliers, gently. Wider jar lids, I use a key type bottle opener to break the seal, just a slight lift does it but carefully, so not to punch a hole in the lid

It’s so easy I don’t know why no one seems to know it: the way to open a stuck jar is smack the the lid on a hard surface. Jars stick because they have warm stuff that cools, creating a vacuum. Smack ’em good and they open every time. Saylorgirl found it by accident.

Granny was in a pickle, now everything’s kosher.

Jar Opening Man’s powers grew, once in civilian life a Marine “jarhead”.

I gotta get me one of those signal lights!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Send him to my house

I NEED one of those NOW!

She’s got to be his mother — otherwise how does she rate her own personal Jar-Opening Man signal? And besides opening jars, it’s pretty clear that his only other superpower is his ability to wear spandex without embarrassment. Not too sure about any other plot details.
