Cap off & funnel.

Basically what I do.

YKYAOW you remember gas cans with open spouts and vents. Cans that actually worked and were more environmentally freindly.

Do you mean it isn't environmentally friendly to spill fuel all over the place because of the bleeping cans- or to throw them out even though the can is still good, but the fancy overpriced nozzles turn to junk?
The nozzles for my diesel cans have a lip which you hold on the fuel tank. Then, while standing on the tractor balancing 40 pounds* with one hand you reach down with the other and push a safety tab, which is supposed to allow the nozzle to open. The problem is, when they cut a slot into a 1/2 inch plastic tube, it no longer has the ability to support 40 lbs*.

*18.144 kgs, for our friends to the north and across the pond.

After I figured out the "two hands needed" on the one gallon can, I was thinking how in the heck are you supposed to do that with a full 5 gallon can LOL

I still haven't learned how to work my 5 gallon can properly (different type of release on the funnel apparently), but I'm fine with just taking the entire cap off and use a funnel.

The one gallon we figured out yesterday, no one could figure out my 5 gallon that I brought with me LOL

We need to keep idiot proofing everything because people kill themselves due to stupidity, and companies have to deal with lawsuits I guess.

I had three social security numbers, all under slightly different names....

That could be very useful, depending on your line of work.

There are slight differences in the way my name is listed on various documents, my driver's license and passport don't even match 100%. It causes all sorts of fun when any official sees both, so I try to keep them segregated.

I thought the new Real Id drivers license was supposed to correct any discrepancies.

Funny you posted this...

Today through a dumb mistake and not paying attention, I got my palm branded. Luckily, it was quick, and probably no more than a first degree burn.

I know my burns from 16 years ago having spent a week in the burn unit LOL

You might be right on that. Last time I renewed, getting the real ID looked to be such a huge PITA, that I just renewed to the old ("fake ID"?) type. I was headed out of town, and didn't want any glitch in the ID change to hold me up.
