I knew the can opener on my swiss army knife would finally come in handy one day!

Joker came up with all those upsetting stories, but this is really how he got those scars.

And my axe!

No seriously. It took 80 years for someone to invent a can opener. Prior to that, cans had to be opened with knives, hammers, or axes.

A can opener is an understated sign of civility. In a time when a weapon or tool was so ubiquitous as to be the obvious answer to using a can, making a tool to do it is a sign of not having a blunt or sharp object available.

And just recently you can find a new type of can openers that literally disassemble the upper lid leaving no sharp edges!

A friend in college discovered you could open beer cans with a can opener so he drank open top Old Mils for an entire semester
