Opening the Wine Bottle
A pre-Christmas "humour" (if not, a lame one)..
What happens if the R&D dept receives a hamper and there were no bosses around?
Answer : Open it.
What happens if the hamper contains a bottle of wine and there's 2 and 1/2 more hours to go till the Christmas weekend?
Answer : Drink it.
What happens if there is no bloody corkscrew around, not within the dept room, nor the pantry, nor any other depts in other buildings?
Answer : Just do it (the typical engineer way).
How?
Answer : Get 2 long screws, 1 screwdriver (or testpen), 1 pair of pliers, 2-3 pairs of hands, and the rest as cheerleaders. Drill the screws deep into the cork. 1 pair of hands use the pliers to pull the screws out (hence, pulling the cork out) whereas the other 1-2 pairs of hands hold the bottle. Pull as hard as you can get, and *wah lah*, the cork is out.
Like I said, typical R&D engineers' way to open a wine bottle without a corkscrew. Hehe..
