> Why is it called a church key?

Because it opens the door to a better life.

The original church key was invented in the
late 1890's to open bottles. The need to
puncture beer cans was a post-Prohibition
problem.

I have never met someone who had not lived
in the USA or Canada who knew what a church
key was - although I am certain some do.

Ah yes, wine contains wisdom, beer contains happyness and water contains
bacteria.

Now, which should you drink?

PS, now that we've got that settled, who is going to be the first to
tell us (without a lookup) why the little key sized can lid opener which
has resided on my keychain these many years is called a "P38"?
