I just found a twist-off bottle cap in an unexpected place.

On top of a distinctly non-twist-off bottle of sodapop.

That is, the cap was clearly marked "Twist Off", with little arrows reminding folks which direction to twist, which I thought was odd since the bottle looked just like the bottles for a different brand of soda that doesn't use twist-offs. And when I took a closer look, I saw that it was in fact the kind of bottle for which one needs a bottle opener (or a mid-1970s General Motors seat belt buckle). Consequently, the cap actually twisted in both directions, not just the direction of the arrows, but neither direction accomplished anything more than testing qualification for membership in the Church of the Easily Amused[1]

Glad I noticed before tearing up the palm of my hand trying to twist it off.


[1] The Church of the Easily Amused has two types of members, High Priestesses and Sex Toys. I officially hold both titles simultaneously. One is inducted into the church by being led in the church cheer by an existing member. If the cheer amuses you, you definitely belong. And no, I didn't found it. It was already established well before I was invited to join ... fifteen or twenty years ago.

Church of the Easily Amused - *bounce* :) What is this cheer? I didn't know there was a Church, I've just been Easily Amused on my own for years.

It's a call and response thing, and it starts out with, "Give me a 'B'!" ...

"What's that spell?"

[makes pouty lips and flaps index finger across them]

"BbBbBbBbBbBbBbBbBbBbBbBbBb!"


Congratulations. You've been electronically inducted into the church. Do you want to be a high priestess or a sex toy?

(Though if we'd been doing this in person, I'd have dragged it out for a couple more iterations, of course.)
