Its more fun to use a very small triangle file. File a groove in the seal at the end of the neck, till it just barely starts to hiss, then see people running out every door. Yes, I DO have a very warped sense of humor, but I have done this a few times. One of them hissed for days.;-)

The file gives a very faint hiss. First they are looking for the sound, then they freak out. ;-)
