The tin can was invented in 1810 and the can opener was invented in 1858.

Hope they have piped in water. And that is not nearly enough toilet paper!

Ha ha, that happened to us during the Covid shutdown !

The number of videos and articles on how to open a can without a can opener is amazing.

We have enough for a week or so lockdown. We also have go-bags but don’t really anticipate needing them. We live in an area usually unaffected by hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, big blizzards or wild fires. But it never hurts to have them ready.

That means they’ll have to leave the shelter and face the… guh! NEW NEIGHBORS!!

Find a spoon and I’ll show you how to safely open it. Or a knife but know that’s a little riskier.

For want of a nail…

That’s alright, we have an electric can opener. Oops, no outlets and no electricity.

They could always eat the toilet paper.

I remember the “forgot the can opener” nuclear bunker gag being used in a Gary Larson cartoon. I guess it’s a common one.

There was a British comedy short film called “Three Men in a Boat” about a similar situation.

Kind of extreme to avoid all the political commercials. You could just not turn the TV and radio on.

Where are the AK-47s and cases of ammunition?

He should have made a metal note of it.

Comics Police? Really?
