Brush It Away

This corkscrew is designed so the user can more efficiently clean the top of the

bottle than when using corkscrews with a simple little

brush mounted in the end of the handle. To use this

fine design, grasp the handle and turn the worm into

the cork. Once it has penetrated the cork, push the shaft

all the way down until the brush comes in contact with

the bottle top. Twist the handle right and left to get rid

of any crud that has accumulated on the bottle neck.

Card Shark Al Coholic

Al Coholic goes to his weekly Poker Game every

Tuesday. He always brings his trusty corkscrew

with him. It is popularly referred to as

“

Alcoholic

‟

s

Corkscrew.

”

The mechanism consists of a spike

affixed to a wood handle. By driving the spike

through the cork in a wine bottle and then

extracting it, he is able to insert a small straw so he

can sip wine the entire evening.

Lefties

One may think of this corkscrew as

“

Krazy

”

or

“

Backwards

”

as the sales card states but one must consider the plight of

lefties worldwide. Prior to the introduction of this trusty

corkscrew, due to their handicap, they have always been

forced to have others open their wine. Their bumbling

attempts to use a rightie

‟

s corkscrew result in damaged

corks, broken glass and even punctured hands.
