Letter to the Editor

The Saturday Mystery

I spent the greater part of the day searching the Internet and looking in my own library in an attempt to solve the mystery of the Erickson Bread Corkscrews. I found Alf Erickson's follow-up comment about Loaves and Wine. Yep, they go together. I thought perhaps they gave a corkscrew to every breadwinner in the state of Wisconsin (home of Erickson Bread). But that didn't make sense. Those folks are beer drinkers. I made a mental note to watch for beer can openers advertising Erickson Bread. Further digging turned up nothing just like Alf's answer in yesterday's edition of The Daily Screw.

Finally, I took a close look at the August golf corkscrew at the bottom of The Saturday Mystery issue, and there was the answer staring me in the face - in the top right corner of the package.
