Because of working on the model A, my hands don’t work right. It is almost impossible for me to open a child-proof lid, and I hate ‘em. In this case hate is not too strong a word. This morning, I tried to open a can of white gas and couldn’t because of that damned lid. When I finally got it off, my shoulders and wrists were screaming to beat the band, and I vowed, “Never Again.” I took my pocket knife to that sucker and cut off the child-proof part. It was easy, and I didn’t cut myself. Surprise, surprise!

I probably am going to be arrested for breaking some asinine federal law concerning altering a child-proof lid, but WTF. Those things should be called non-artho caps. That would let everyone who has arthritis to just forget about even trying to open anything with one of those suckers on it.

There, I feel better,

Mike
