    haha... I almost said "I've got a..." then almost spit out my beer as I re-read it...a "burnWood" or "1969Fatboy" didn't quite fit....

    Oh, I've got a story to share. I just got back from choir practice...

    So, after we finish singing and a short prayer, I put my music in my slot as I do every Wednesday night and head out the door. As I leave the church, I got into a short conversation with one of the ladies about school and such as I walked across the parking lot.

    I say good night to her and turn toward my vehicle to find someone trying to get into my Jeep. I'm a little shocked as you can imagine, but as I approach, I quickly realize its one of the elderly gentlemen in my choir. He's standing at my driver side door fiddling with his keys frantically. Simultaneously, I see the lights on a vehicle several spots away flashing rapidly.

    After a second or two of confusion, I come to the realization that the other vehicle is also a Jeep. OMG, he thinks my Jeep is his. I didn't want to embarrass him any more than he would be when he realized his mistake, so I gently nodded my head over to the blinking Jeep and mentioned offhandedly that all Jeeps look alike from the front.

    He grinned and mumbled something about oh that's why his keys weren't working and that yes, he agreed that all the Jeeps look alike. Poor guy. I'll be old one day too. :o

    and it wasn't until the last page reading Justin's post that I even realized your screen name actually said something. I just thought it was some weird bunny code...I didn't want to ask, either :ashamed001

    Haa.. that's a good one.

    How about the time I took my girls to the local ice cream stand last fall. I park the car on the side, and we walk around to the front and get in line. We get our ice cream finally (long line, nice night out..) and head back to the car. I notice the rear window was down and I ask my youngest why she left the window down. She states she didn't (clue #1). I go to open my door and it's locked (which it should've been). I press the unlock button on the key fob and it doesn't unlock (clue #2). I try it again, no luck (clue #3). I reach around through the rear open window and pull up the lock. I open the driver's door and the alarm goes off (clue #4). Then I get a good look inside and finally realize it's not our car. I promptly shut the door, and turn around expecting to see the angry owner. No one ever comes around. No one in line even budged, craned their neck or glanced to see what was going on. The ice cream is that good. We then proceed two more parking spaces down to our car.

    The End.

    Honestly, I may only have figured it out when I read his post in the "explain your user name" thread. I know he posted there. I just don't recall if I knew it before then...

    Old is relative. We are all old to someone, some of us are just old to a higher ratio of people.

    Yeah... basically. That is when one of the searchers find them the next morning after Han shoves Luke in the belly of the beast. Tauntaun?

    Stupid tax return isn't coming in when it was originally supposed to. Crud. Well, I guess I better start hoping to lose some auctions.

    Excellent. I can't remember a time when I tried to get into the wrong car, but I do remember humpteenjillion times when I locked my keys in the correct one. :ashamed001

    That's why I let a deer, and then a teenager in an old tank of a car redecorate my passenger side front bumper. ;) Makes my Intrepid stand out from all the others.

    Of course, I don't have to worry about it right now, as my car is in a coma at the moment. :sad024

    Yeah, I figured that much out. :D
    Well, you're not allowed out of the soap factory anyways, so why even have a car?

    yeah you were lucky that the ice cream was that good...

    Maybe that is what I ran into once in Terre Haute. I came out of the mall once and saw two people breaking into a car with an unbent clothes hanger. But the back window was down....
