[BlindTlk] opening cans without a can opener

[Jude DaShiell]

Thanks, the article I read wasn't entirely clear which end opened the
cans.
If you start opening a can of sardines and the strip breaks try this to
get it open.
Use a can opener but when you do that turn the lever backward so the
opener goes around the can in clockwise motion not the usual
counterclockwise direction.  That happened to me and counterclockwise
wouldn't work so I tried clockwise and it worked like a charm.
