A
friend brought over some
wine once. Not being a wine kinda guy (except for the occasional
Mad Dog 20/20
), I couldn't remember if I even had a
corkscrew, much less find one. But in a rare flash of
genius, I went to the
computer room and
unscrewed a
storage hook from the wall that I'd hung about five
miles of
CAT5 on. It's the kind of hook
found at a
hardware store that you simply screw into a
sturdy piece of
wood and is
strong enough to
suspend a
bicyle.
The
screw end on these things is about an
inch and a quarter long, and about 3/8 inch in diameter. I twisted it into the cork and pulled it right out.
We got
drunk.
