35. February 4, 2012

Short version:
My boss can cut open a champagne bottle with a sword, or "saber" a champagne bottle, if you will.

Long version:
My boss's friend went to Butler school in Switzerland for six, that's right SIX, years. Once he became a professional butler for various castle dwelling families he got married and gave up professional butlering so that he could be a stay-at-home dad for his newborn child. For his wedding, he requested only one thing of the groomsmen (my boss being one of them), that they could saber a champagne bottle successfully. Apparently there is a meticulous technique for sabering a bottle of champagne and if done incorrectly could shatter in your hands so while practicing you should wear protective gloves.
