Giving the crackers to the parrot

When you have two give two crackers to the parrot, which cracker you use first matters. If you use the first cracker first, then the second cracker will become the current item after using the first one, which is what we want. However, if you use the second cracker first, then the rope (or the dynamite, if you've already combined the crowbar with the rope) will become the current item, making it harder to use the second cracker.
