Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.
Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty.
I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all, "Honey," I stammered. I always call her "honey" in times like these. "I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen."
There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice. "Idiot", she barked, "I dropped you off!" Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me." She yelled, "I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car."
Yep it's getting like that. The golden years.

I had heard that one before and remarked, "At that point do you really want her to come get you"?

Steve, I did almost the same thing not more than two months ago. Except I was on the bike and had parked it around the corner of the building in the only available spot. I walked out and started to look around, trying to remember where I parked the car and that silent panic started to set in. Until this little old lady came up and said "that's a beautiful motorbike you have." Then it hit me....I didn't drive, I rode. As you said, welcome to the Golden Years bud.  |

Think about it. If the car had been stolen you could be settling for a great Valkyrie plus some cash from the insurance...  I don't know what you drive, but Pintos are more reliable than Corvair and YUGO! |
