I have been out in the country w/o a corkscrew - we broke the top off and poured the wine through a handkerchief. That would have been much more elegant.

I experienced this once. The champagne cork flew more than 30 meters away!

Youtube "Larry Goes to the Market". It's a truly first-class short film MADE ENTIRELY from the footage of that dude. It made me LOL.

Beware of the Rancor. I'm not kidding.
