Hi Gene,

Re: I save a lot on bandaids....

Reminds me of when I was about 10 yrs old. In those days, you could buy a ham in a can. The can came with a 'device' where you wound the 'device' around the can to remove a small strip of the can & then you would pull the lid of off the can.

I wanted to do it, so my mom let me. As I went to pull the lid off, I cut myself on my right middle finger, clear to the bone. That did bleed a bunch; and the scar is still there.

Anyone remember hams coming in those types of cans?

PS) I think I've spent a fortune on bandaids over the years. :banghead:

Lots of things came that way ham Spam tuna Deviled Ham. The "device" as I remember was called a key.
