How to Open a Bottle of Wine (Without a Bottle Opener)

• and i thought i was macgyver for opening a wine bottle using a ballpoint pen.

• I want to know how this gets applied in practice. You have a bottle of wine you need to open, but you can't wait until you get in off the street. Rather than risk embarrassment by going into a nearby shop and asking, "Vous n'auriez pas de tire-bouchon �e pr�r, par hasard?" and actually using a proper corkscrew, or risk losing your buzz by actually bringing the wine inside to one of the drunken friends' apartments, you decide to risk laceration (or, worse, alcohol abuse through spillage) by using your TEETH to take off the capsule and then using your STINKY SHOE that has been walking through the mean streets of whatever city that is to try and d�ucher the bottle. Nevertheless, it was cool, and I want to see this as one of those smarmy "How To" videos on chow.com immediately.
