Letter: Letters: In the can

From MARK WILKINS

With reference to Nick Beard’s problem of how to distinguish a shaken
beer can from an undisturbed one (Letters, 6 July), I have a beautifully
neat and cheap diagnostic procedure – the law of sod.

Let me choose randomly one of the two beer cans and I will invariably
choose the shaken one. Furthermore, should I attempt to upset the system
by replacing my first choice, the second can amazingly identifies itself
as the one with the built in shower.

I can only suggest that anybody wishing to go to a party with me should
wear a raincoat.
