First, take the Hammer and nail. Next, find an eye of the coconut, and using the hammer,
pound the nail into the eye. Then remove the nail, and set the coconut on a glass for about 10 minuets to fully drain. If a skewer is available, stick it through the eyes of the coconut, to further
allow the juices to flow. After take the juice and either throw it away, or look up more instructables
on what to do with it.

When you are done, your coconut should look like this

After you coconut has been stripped of all of its meat, forming a steady rhythm, take the
two haves of the coconut shell, and prance around the house as though you were riding
a horse.
