Default Need to open bottle of wine w/o a wine opener. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

So a bottle of wine is the only alcohol I have left, but I have no wine opener. Try as I might, I can't smash the cork in like I did in my youth. /Any MacGyvers out there? If it helps, I have a piece of dental floss, a penny, and complimentary deck of cards from the Gambler's Bookshop[. I've even tried having a good time sober...Help!!!!111!!!11!!!1!!!!!one!!!!

Go to the store. Buy a cheap 1 dollar bottle opener, and a 6-pack in case the wine isn't enough.

You're welcome.

take the dental floss, tie it around the penny. then open the deck of cards, take out the jack of spades. now, grab the bottle and the jackless deck of cards, and place them on your kitchen counter with the cards directly underneath the bottle face-up.

now, here's where it gets a little trickey; STOP MAKING CRAPPY POSTS!!!!!!!

Crap. I think it's due to the Vegas heat and the cork expanding that I can't smash it in. Maybe if I boil some water in a stew pot,put the wine bottle in the stew, add some celery, then the cork will pop out!

P.S. Anyone going to Rainbow Bar and Grill tonight?!?!?!!!!!1!!!!eleven!!11!!!

Try to get something thin down the side of the cork and pry it out. I've seen it work before.

Doing this incorrectly could also conceivably shatter the neck of the bottle, in which case he gets no wine.

If you have the supplies, I'd suggest putting a screw into the cork and then pulling it out with pliers.
