Set the can bottom down on the rock and push down as you slide in a figure-8; when it starts to leak, pry the end off with something. Slate would be a good surface to do this on. Don't know about cement sidewalks.<BR/><BR/>This might've been in Slavomir Rawicz's "The Long Walk."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694156048670349907.post-3458224594000208122009-02-09T23:50:00.000-05:002009-02-09T23:50:00.000-05:00Being prepared & stimulating the economy at th...Being prepared & stimulating the economy at the same time!<BR/>Seriously, that is a great idea.
