Ask the Old Fanner; Could you tell me how to open butter
nuts? I've tried a hammer and got nothing but mashed but
ternuts There must be an easier way GJ, Akron, Ohio
I had an old uncle who got so discouraged trying to crack butter
nuts with a hammer that he chopped down his trees Only way
we know is use a small vise Turn it until you just crack the shell,
reverse the nut, and repeat until you can pick the shell apart
Home Hint; To relieve indigestion, dnnk a glass of water that has a
