There's a hole in my bucket!

Just for fun in these troubling times!

Bought some scissors the other day because I do not have any. (Interrupted house move)

Unfortunately, the packaging on the scissors requires the use of scissors to remove it!

Bah!

:/

Incidentally, I am sure that I recall reading somewhere that a not insignificant proportion of A&E admissions are as a result of injuries sustained by people attempting to extricate products from stupid overpackaging.

Ho Humm

That is of course what I did do.

But it grated having to use one of my nice kitchen knives to cut plastic!

As far as I know the packaging is intentionally difficult to open and larger than necessary as anti-theft measures.

Damn auto correct...

To be fair I spent years thinking Take That were singing about Chinese praying. Turns out they were singing "all I do each night is pray"

Chainsaw is a good solution to many problems. I have several!

However, My GF would, I suspect, take issue with me firing one up in the kitchen!

:cool:

There are some videos on Youtube about misheard lyrics that I found funny. Maybe the best one is one of the earliest - Gopher Tuna:
