Help, I'm sober and I can't get drunk

Had a problem last night. I made myself a nice cosmo. And then...dammit....I couldn't get the shaker open. Imagine my PAIN. My cosmo is TRAPPED inside the shaker. I did all kinds of tricks...run hot water on it, run cold water on it, pull on it, twist it, swear at it. Eventually, I got the big part (whatever that's called) open, but not the top, pouring part. So, I got most of my cosmo, minus the part that went all over the counter. As for that stupid shaker, bugger is already in the recycling bin. Hope it can find a new life as something that WORKS, like a government contractor!
