i don’t get it… is it because St Jerome is patron saint of translators?

He should stick to opening books and let Saint Gemma open the bottle.

There was a memorable (to me, at least,) early Saturday Night Live skit along these lines. The drug’s name was “Triopenin.”

I’ve lost grace by trying to open those bottles.

Did you try the Aspirin ?

Then when he opens it, he has to break that seal that covers the ibuprofen…

Try getting migraine meds out of a blister pack when needed! Pure torture!

If he took his retinol, he wouldn’t need the ibuprofen.

Blister packs are way worse. I only hope their inventor has to spend eternity trying to open them with no tools.

He doesn’t have a pipe wrench, so no matter what, he’s not going to get the bottle open.

I think Saint Jude would be a better choice for opening child-resistant bottles!

I resent the fact that we need a scissor, knife, pliers, hammer and saw just to open any package today! ☺️☺️☺️☺️❤️

He is the patron saint against anger.

St. Jerome would have cursed his maker and started a war if he had to retrieve some hand tool or electronics out of a blister pack.

A virtually impossible task!

Ah yes, adult-proof-packaging that most 3 year olds can open easily. I take a sharp knife to the locking tab, or if it’s a “press and turn” I simply remove the top of that cap with a pair of small electrical nippers.

I can open them with one hand. If it’s really creative, I have a very handy box cutter.

Good luck with that Jerome.

St Jerome had an excellent command of Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic . I wonder which language he would’ve cursed in?

How many saints are there?

Now we know why St. Jerome had a reputation as a grump…
