The concern of cork or screw cap suggests some of you cads are opening wine without a sabre. 

The very idea.

If you extract the bag from the box they can be mounted on a drip.

It's scary the way they change things. And to be fair she was probably worried it was a grenade.

A spam grenade!

And Switzerland has one of the lowest number of 'gun crimes' in the world, so maybe the NRA are right.

No it doesn't. In fact it has a high rate:

However, that does include suicides. But even if you look at only homicides, it's still by no means low:

The Swiss don't like to admit to this of course...

When I have had enough of this shit I will go to Mexico.  It will be easier than jumping in front of the 7:10 Gatwick express and less inconvenient on fellow commuters.

As they say in Mexico: "You're acting like you've never seen a severed head on the back of a tortoise before"

To be fair most of the suicides are more likely accidents - all those bankers cleaning their semi-automatics, cuckoo pops out of his ornate wooden house and bam - family has more holes than the cheese...

Well known fact *sniff*

And the Swiss Air Force uses the motorways for runways, so they can still operate if the airfields are bombed.

 

Presumably they don't have gantries with anti-speeding cameras every few 100 metres then?

Nope, their motorways are designed to be used as runways, so putting gantries across every 100 metres isn't going to work. And I think they turn the speed cameras off when the Air Force is using the motorways for runways. B-)

Switzerland is a land on 'rules' ferinstance you cannot wash your car on a Sunday! they don't need speed cameras because folks are more likely to obay the law there.

Would the Swiss navy being called into action not be a bit like a scene from Fitzcarraldo?

All this cork/screw nonsense is negated if you drink champagne. It's the most elegant solution. AND, because it goes flat once open, you have to drink a whole bottle at a time

This is a good reason for drunying the fizzy wines

What happens if you use that on a champagne bottle? Does the world implode?

Does that spoon trick with champagne work?
