You’ve put in a long work week, You’re celebrating the arrival of good news, or maybe you’re just in the mood for a little libation. Whatever the case may be, one of the worst things that could happen right as you’re about to enjoy your favorite wine is to discover that your corkscrew has up and disappeared. So what next?
Don’t panic! If you happen to find yourself in this horrid situation, just do what one Alabama women did. . . Improvise!
In a classic, “here, hold my beer” moment, only without the beer, the two women are spending the night in a cabin in “nowhere Alabama”, when one they realize they have no corckscrew. Not to be deterred, one of the women remebers that smacking the bottom of the bottle will put enough pressure on the cork to push it out. And to ensure the bottle doesn’t break, she utilizes the padding from the bottom of her shoe to cushion the glass bottle.
After just a few pops ks against the wall, the cork slips out just enough for her remove it by hand. And just like that, the night is saved. MacGyver would be so proud.
