thehelmsman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 OK, so before coming to Thailand I've been around a bit and haven't needed a REAL bottle opener for some time, But my skills at opening beer bottles have improved and are now equal to anyone. Well, almost.....still can't and never will use my teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanno Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 About the only useful thing I learned during my military service: how to open a beer bottle with pretty much anything (but , like you, never my teeth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytigerbkk Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Church key (or churchkey) means bottle opener. It's used a lot in the forces and usually refers to an improvised bottle opener (e.g., a bic lighter, a belt buckle, a bayonet, etc). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to seem slow but not sure what a church key might be. He means bottle opener. Me: Multitool. Probably the most used tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I learned recently that the Victorinox bottle opener has a knife blade on it as well, for picking your teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leo202 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I used to use my teeth thinking I was some kind of tough guy when pissed up, now the teeth on the left side of my jaw are chipped to bits and knackered. I've realised that I'm not so tough as I'm too scared to go to the dentist and get them sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipi Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The first time I saw a petit Thai lady rip the top off a beer bottle with her teeth my eyes nearly popped out. I was not expecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inepto Cracy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Bare hands, metal egg flipper, bayonet, ciggi lighter, penknife, swords, U clasp for car door lock, table edge, another full beer bottle, keys, door locks and a Scottish Dirk. Lastly a bottle opener. Never ever use your teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 First time i came to Thailand many years ago i saw a not so youngish lady open a beer bottle using just the muscles in her nether parts in one of those upstairs places where an exit fee is required. Amazed me , but just between us i was told that there is a metal bottle opener inserted before she hobbles on stage..Anyway, That is why it is sometimes useful to have a bottle opener lying around even if she does spend her time watching stupid Thai soapies.
