I can drink a full can of beer with one hand. Several of them, actually, and never get the hiccups. You gonna eat that lobster?

Mr. Moser almost reminds me of that dude some “Ripley’s” comics a few days able to hold about two dozen eggs with one hand.

So, what happened to him in 1990? Did he stop and live, or have to die to stop the hiccups?

All the more reason to eta lots more lobster. Maybe the good will rub off in time.

Crushing beer cans use to be a feat when they were made of steel.

I think Ripleys is groping a bit…The beer can thing is not all that impressive…

Our phonebook has lost 5 pages in the last two years. (OUT OF ABOUT 30) Too many people going to cell phones to get away from telemarketers/solicitors!

I had 3 delivered a few days ago. Wish I knew who dropped them off because I would have them fined for littering. Who needs a phonebook?? O_o

I’m gonna try that beer thing. I’ll let you know the results. Becaaaaause, when the cans were made of steel and empty if was a real feat of strength – and I could do it. Aluminum cans? With just my thumb, index, and middle fingers. Also empty, of course.

anyone can tear a phonebook in half. It depends on what city you live in.

Any beer in a can is a waste. Bottles only, but I am not sure you want to crush them…

All Charles had to do was hold his breath for as long as he possibly could and the hiccups would have stopped. Works every time.
