How Many Girls Does it Take to Open a Bottle of Wine?

My roommates and I cooked dinner the other night (pasta, of course) and we bought a bottle of wine to go along with it. We were enjoying some cheese and crackers while waiting for the water to boil and we decided wine would go well with the little appetizers we made (but then again wine goes well with everything, right?). So we got out the wine opener and started to screw it into the cork, but it wouldn't come out and neither would the cork. None of us had ever opened a bottle of wine before but it always looks so simple...I'm also pretty sure we bought a cheap kind of wine because the "cork" seemed to be more like plastic. We all tried numerous times to try and pull it out, but no amount of strength could get it. Then we had two people trying to pull at opposite ends (not the smartest idea) but even that didn't work. Eventually we were able to create a little hole in the cork and wine dripped into our cups drop by drop...it took forever! I guess you could say we were a little desperate...and frustrated...and "thirsty."

My roommate Cecilia got home shortly after we created the hole in the cork and she wanted to try and get it out. She tried for about ten minutes and finally got it out, needless to say we were all very excited! Just had to share that with you all, I know my family will especially get a laugh out of it!

Drip, drip, drip...desperate much? Yes.
