Breaking up is hard to do

One big problem of living in a flat is separating frozen sausages.

It was easy at the house.

I just used to wait until Maureen wasn't watching, then hurl them onto the tiled kitchen floor.

I could just pick them up off the floor, put as many as I needed into the pan, and bung the others back in the freezer.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't work on a wooden floor two flights up.

I suppose I could throw them out of the window onto the car park, 60 feet below, but would I be able to get down before a dog or a seagull snaffled them all?

In case anyone else faces this quandary, I've found the perfect answer.

You hold the six frozen sausages in one hand and hit them with a hammer.

No probs.

Works with chicken breasts as well - but don't tell Maureen.
