(Thanks to Arwalden for the inspiration) What's a "church key"? If you know the answer it REALLY dates you. ;-)

2. Yes, but more often a can in my day. |
|
They didn't always come with pop tops.

7. If you dropped a can of beer, did you tap on the top |
|
with the church key for a bit to get the foam down? We did. Seemed to work. I have no idea why.

20. Shoving the can sharply against the corner of a bar works, too. |

Their sentimental value outweighs their usefulness these days though. ;)

I don't know where the hell it is. Good thing Scotch bottles have screw tops. ;-)

5. Only to open church doors. |

I'm guessing that that's not the desired answer. :shrug:

16. I have a "Canada Dry" wall mount bottle opener from the old Kings' Inn |
|
Motel at LaGuardia. What a rathole that place was. But cheap. I used to stay there when I was commuting to New York to fly with TWA.
The last time I was there I heard the city had bought the place to use for indigent housing. I wanted a souvenir, so I unscrewed the bottle opener from the wall in the bathroom. It had about 18 coats of paint on it. I cleaned it up and it looks pretty nifty in my bar.

18. Yes, and stop saying it dates me. Question for you |
|
Edited on Sat Apr-29-06 06:56 PM by Gormy Cuss
I'can't help the fact that I was raised by a mother and grandmother who used old fashioned things.
:D
Okay, so it dates me.
On edit: Ever live in a house with locks that required the old fashioned keys that WERE like church door keys?

21. Sure and I wish I had one |
|
I keep thinking i should buy one. I use the side of the rotary can openener and it's not as nice. Plus if I have to use a can of broth or condensed milk or evaporated milk or something I'd rather shake it, use the pointy side, and pour than open the whole top off.

32. It's a secular humanist temple opener. |
|
That's what my husband and I agreed to call it after he objected to the term 'church key,' saying he believed in the separation of church and beer.
