BAD NEWS this morning- no pineapples for my daughter for breakfast
We have one of those "top end" can openers-it takes off the top so there is no jagged edge
and my wife hasn't shown me how to work it
I tried to figure it out yesterday (on both sides of the can) no luck
This is no surprise, it took me two weeks to figure out how my sunglasses worked
Running/biking shades with vents at the top for body heat (highly recommended) and I could figure out how to change out the lenses
turns out the instructions were in the carrying case
:thatsright:

2. Just attach it to the top of the can
and push the button. It will start on its own. When it stops, remove it.

3. Get the Dole pineapple chunks in the plastic jar with the lid
It has the same peel-off plastic seal that the snack cups use and keeps them sealed up with a screw on lid. Bonus: no can opener problems!
Note for the record that there were no "Sarcasm" tags on this post. It was offered as genuinely helpful advice. :p :lmao:

Hey, DUmbass! Try applying the opener to the side rim off the can in a "head-on" fashion, squeeze the handles together, and twist the knob.
-
OMG these people are idiots. They never think outside the box or outside lockstep.
DUmb ass .... if you really wanted your kid to have pineapples for breakfast why not use a KNIFE?!
GMC Chrysler. Hell, I carry a P-38 with me at all times but if I couldn't find that my handy dandy pocket knife will open a can just fine.
On second thought ..... stay the hell away from the knives. It would be a damn shame for your daughter to see you slice your friggin hand off. If she is not around .... carry the hell on!

This guy is the reason why Claymore mines have "Front Toward Enemy" stamped on them.

I take it you've know a troopie or three that couldn't tie their bootlaces consistently without the tender ministrations of the platoon sergeant?

Yup. Got a couple of them under my tender care right now.

He has to wait for his wife to show him how to use a friggin can opener??? I sure as hell wouldn't be leaving a kid alone with him then...he's too stupid to trust to take care of them properly.
How does he remember to breathe?

He's one of those retards with "TGIF" written on his shoes - to remind him that Toes Go In First...

My wife went away for a week long deployment shortly after my daughter was born and she finally got to a phone in the middle of it and called me and she was all "How ARE you? Is the baby okay?!"
I told her that she was doing better after the hospital visit because I accidentally lit her on fire and then grabbed what I thought was water but was my stadium cup full of vodka and threw that on her and it just made things worse but that once I stomped the flames out she seemed to be okay. :-)
We also had a conversation once where I told her that the diaper pail was broken. "What do You mean 'broken'?" "Well it won't close all the way and there's this god awful stench." "Have you emptied it lately?" "What do you mean empty? I'm not touching those things!"

The gifted and talented at the DUmp are for government control because of shit like this.

I think you are spot on here. They truly feel they are the gifted and talented in the world and if THEY can't do something then how in the hell can you expect the rest of humanity to be able to do it.

LOL! :lmao:
BTW, I have one of those can openers that open the whole top so it's not sharp. Um, yeah it didn't have directions on it, because a monkey could even operate it. Dumbass.

We have one of the side openers. They are unnatural and hard to figure out at first.
Once, our daughter's idiot boyfriend was in our kitchen cooking one of his specialties. He ask me for a can opener. I handed it to him and walked out of the kitchen.
In my defense, I did go back in a little later. I was being unfair.

And now he is posting on the DUmp but he is forgetting to tell us his girlfriends dad came to his rescue!

We have one, too...the only one in my family who can't work it is my youngest, and it's just because his hands arent strong enough to twist the handle.

Its easy DUmmy - show the can a picture or two of your hands, sing a few solidarity songs together, and ask it to express it's feelings, as you express yours. That can will open up for you in no time, I promise.

ANd packets of Silica Gel have 'Do Not Eat' printed on them, I can understand though. I know when I buy a new stereo or television, I fully expect to find a tasty snack inside the box as well.

How freaking tough can it be to turn the thing 90 degrees?

Apparently, well beyond the grasp of the "super-educated" at the DUmp.

Well at least we know how to kill them all when the balloon goes up.
We just infiltrate and take away their can openers and wait a couple of weeks.

I use to watch a guy's plumbing business every year while he went on vacation. He had little to no sense of humor.....
:ring ring:
Me: "Good afternoon - Brothers Plumbing"
Him: "Just checkin' in. Ever'thing OK?"
Me: "Yeah, the fire department just left and the insurance guy's on the way."
(I'm such a cut up!)

I learned to use a large flat blade screwdriver pretty effectively over a 3 week remote area camping trip one time. Packed everything including the kitchen sink, and forgot the damn can opener. I now have one of those gerber multitools that goes everywhere.
