When I was a kid, mixing up the frozen OJ was one of my jobs. I cut my hand on
one of those pull top lids. I can't say how I did it but the lid slashed my hand
across 4 fingers. It was a damned bloody mess. It was shocking to see the fingers
bleeding like that. I'll probably have a flashback of the view when I die. 
I wrapped up the mess and finished the OJ mixing. As usual, I didn't tell my 
parents about it. The ones with the plastic strip were a lot safer. I can't say 
that I'm sad to see frozen OJ concentrate disappearing forever. I never found that 
job to be very life fulfilling. We drank too much of that stuff anyway. 

Cooking stuff in the waffle iron is so easy that I feel guilty about it. There's 
nothing I can do about that.
