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.
Really put the cart ahead of the horse on that one Napoleon
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!
