Dixie's Tupperware Party

Dad and I went to see a show called Dixie's Tupperware Party.  It is a comedy about the life of an ex-con who needed to get a job to get back her kids.  The job chosen was tupperware.  The show was very funny with Dixie offering a variety of alternatives for the uses of tupperware and many sexual references.   We had seats right at the front and Dad became almost a co-star when he volunteered the information that he had never been to a tupperware party.  Dixie often called on him when when making an off hand remark.  However, the exceptionally funny bit came when she had him come on stage to demonstrate the use of the tupperware can opener.  For those of you who do not know this can opener, it works very differently than the regular one.  She gave Dad instruction on its use for five to ten minutes.  Poor dad struggled but was finally able to get it happening.  After all that I thought that she was going to give him a can opener but no instead he got the can of fruit that he opened.  To give Dad credit when Wendy came to visit me she tried to open a can of something while I was at work and gave up.  I had one of these Tupperware can openers.  Below is a picture that we took after the show.
