Product Advisory: Canned pre-made sauces, &c.
When rinsing to put in recylable bin, be wary
of sharp can edges. My #1 counting pinkie is
down for repairs for about a week or so.
The ER doc took about a minute to put super-glue
on the wound, but I had to wait 6 hours to see him.
Then they gave me a tetanus shot, because that is
SOP for deep cuts made by iron-containing steel.
Luckily, no damage to ligature / musculature / nerves &c.

How in the world did you manage to cut your finger rinsingI'm not sure why anyone would run their finger inside a can to rinse it
out cans to be recycled?? I just set the can in the sink
let it fill up, dump out the water, and into the recycling
bin in the kitchen. When that's full, into the large
wheeled bin outside for pickup.

Lesson learned. When cutting into an avocado put it on a flat surface
and cut downward. Do not hold it in one hand and shop down.

Or do what I've seen professional cooks recommend and have done
it myself with great success. Place that avocado in a folded,
perhaps in fourths, dish towel. Now hold that dish toweled
avocado in your hand and sliced around it from north to south.
Twist to separate and while still holding that snuggled fruit,
thwap that seed with the cutting edge of your knife. Twist
the knife to persuade that seed to release from that half.

You'll have more control with that avocado nestled in several
folds of a dish towel. No chasing it around a cutting board.
I would not recommend this method if you have severe nervous
tics, though.

It's a man-thing, from ye olde days when they
fearlessly wielded a sword or dagger.
It's so common the NHS gives it the formal diagnosis;
Avocado Hand. It's on John's medical records.

Here in UK, avocadoes can't run away because the pickers
rip their legs off. Most of them die of shock. Slowly.
Bruce never eats avocado because of the brutal harvesting
method.

But there are also unknown unknowns?
the ones Bruce doesn't know he doesn't know.

Yeah. That Bruce is a real conundrum.
