"if you open a can of worms,

I notice the same thing hold true for a jar of pickles.
Not the sliced ones but the whole ones.

Sometimes I'm amazed at how many they fit into a jar.

I wonder how they get them all in there.

Is there a special "Pickle Mallet" that they use to bang
them in so tightly?

Being a handy guy, I've got a ton of tools. One for just
about any job I might come across. Got one of those big
tool chests on wheels like the mechanics use. Draws sort
out the various tool. Ratchets and sockets in one, screw
drivers in another, pliers and other sort of wire cutters
in their own space and hammers and crow bars in their
proper spot. You get the idea.

Out of all those draws I'm certain I don't have a pickle
hammer. If you know if there is of such a tool, let me
know. I'd love to get one.

With youngsters I find they often take out the first pickle
but realize that they don't like pickles so I'm stuck
having to eat it because there is no way possible for me to
figure out how to get that pickle back into the jar.

Sorry this message isn't very debatable nor does it involve
the slightest bit of politics unless of course democrats
eat more pickles than republicans. Actually it's probably
the other way around. I notice a lot of republicans often
walking around like they just ate a bitter sour pickle.

Their faces are often all puckered and tight lipped.
(You know, almost like that odd face that Shrub makes when
he's searching for a two syllable word to say. Sorta like
that.) <just kidding>

<Clappy goes off to Google and enters a term that has never
ever been entered into that search bar of theirs. He
types in "Pickle Hammer" and Google's engines slow to a
crawl like throwing a old leather work shoe into the gears
of Big Ben.>

Let me know if you can shed a little light on this subject.

Back to your regularly scheduled news.
