The Case of the Empty

There is a mystery here in Richmond. The empty beer can in the accompanying photo was found on the living room floor. Study the photo closely and tell me what seems odd. That's right, folks; it is unopened. How, then, were its contents removed? Well, study closer. That's right; there is a small puncture just under the rim of the can.

Here in Richmond, sleuths working on the case have determined that whoever removed the contents of this beer can was highly intelligent -- or at least had a strong understanding of physics. That's because of what you can't see in the photo: there is another puncture hole identical to the one in the photo, but on the opposite side of the can. Clearly, whoever removed the contents knew that beer pours more smoothly and quickly with an air release.

Who could have done it? The full beer was apparently left on the table in the living room. Who has an opener that small? And what became of the beer? There was no sign of it anywhere.

If anyone has any information on the beer that was removed from this can, please (burp) let me know.
