Car Keys

After a meeting several hours ago, I couldn't find my keys. I quickly gave
myself a personal "TSA Pat Down."

They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the
car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.

My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's
ignition.

He's afraid that the car could be stolen. As I looked around the parking
lot, I realized he 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 to my husband: "I left my keys in
the car and it's been stolen."

There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but
then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?"

He barked, "I dropped you off!"

Now it was my turn to be silent.

Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me."

He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal
your damn car!"

Welcome to the golden years..............

Wow! Not familiar with big rigs, but that sounds cool. Bet your fill up cost a few bucks. My 400 + miles is met with a little over 10 gallons. My SUV is at the other side of the coin.

My truck held 400 gallons but I was just pointing out saying how far you can go on a tank proves nothing unless you mention the capacity.

Oh man! That brought back a memory. I'd been on a Florida Gulf beach to lie on my beach towel and alternately to take dips in the surf. Time to go, but when I got to the car, my key was gone. There's a little pocket inside my swim trunks that has a hole for the key shaft, and supposedly the key can't fall out, but it had. I went back to the area where I'd been, and sifted the sand through my fingers but no key. I located the park security guy and told him what happened. This was a Sunday and he pointed out that a locksmith was going to cost a wad. I said I'd try sifting more sand first. Still no luck. Then a thought. What if the key could be in my swim trunks liner because it fit tight around my legs? As I stood there feeling around in my pants, I looked up to find the nearby beach moms watching with horror in their eyes. I could see what was coming. Park security notified of a pervert in the park! My key was there in the liner, and I hustled for the security guy to tell him my story, which he loved.

Yeah, to make matters worse and without asking us if we wanted it that way, they took away the antenna on top of which we could stick a silly ball.
