No we are not talking of removing guts. It is the backelite threaded part. It is extremely....intransigent. Cork screw simply doesn't work. In fact it can break if you try to do it with it or you could even hurt yourself with it.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
