Clamshell Combat

Amazon asked for my input on a recent purchase. Specifically, about its packaging. Here's what I gave 'em.

As usual when attacking clamshell items, it was a titanic struggle to open this package. I had to arm myself with a pair of scissors and a separate naked blade. During entire bout, I quaked with fear that the scissors or knife or indeed the plastic clamshell would cut my finger to the bone. I also worried that a slip with my blade would damage the headset within. Fortunately, the clamshell eventually - after a good 15 minutes - succumbed to my assault and I was able to extract the precious contents without having to visit the emergency room to have a finger re-attached. If I were asked whether I would like to open this package again, or undergo a painful and unnecessary root canal, I might opt for the dental surgery.

A Thought...

When did the job of being a gardener change from a quiet one, to a job requiring hearing protection?
