How to Pit an Olive

There was once a time when I would chop olive flesh off of the pit little by little, making the task long and tedious.  Little did I know that there was a much easier way.  Simply make a lengthwise slice down the olive, making sure to slice against the pit and then smash the olive with the side of a chef's knife.  Now you'll be able to easily pull out the pit! Wah Lah!
