Last night I had so much fun making pineapple orange juice that I gleefully stabbed myself in the finger. Actually I was trying to get the top off of the can. This was at about 3:00 in the morning. I tried pulling the plastic strip off the top like you're supposed to, but it ripped below the lid, so I couldn't pull it off anymore. So I decided to saw the top off with a steak knife instead. I made a jab through one side of the can and then another one right next to it and inched my way around. Sometimes the knife decided to come out the other side, which was fine with me because it made my job easier, and then it got ambitious and tried to jab through my finger, too. My finger was not very happy about this and bled rather profusely for a few minutes. But then it stopped, and now it's better. I put a bandaid on it, but this morning I took it off because it was cutting off my circulation and turning my finger an odd color. I didn't need it anyway. I hope my pineapple orange juice appreciates how much I went through for it.
