The things we do...
« on: September 12, 2011, 10:34:33 pm »
So, I pull into the dealership to get a part for my car. As I get out of the car put the keys into my pocket. As I?m closing the door, a very attractive young lady walks by. I?ll call her my distraction. Well, I close the door with my right hand. You know what? It hurts real bad to close your fingers in the car door. I held back the pain for a few seconds, just enough to smile and nod at my distraction. She smiled back. As soon as she was around the corner, I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Then another one as I realized I had locked the door.

Do you know you can?t get keys out of you right pants pocket with your left hand? The pain was easing as my fingers grew numb. I hollered to a mechanic I saw and knew what to expect. He came over, laughed and said, ?I think I can help.? He walked back to the shop and returned with some tools and 10 other mechanics to ?see if they could help?. I thought this was the most embarrassing moment in my life. I explained about the distraction and told them I had my keys in my pocket but didn?t feel right having another man reach into my pants. One of the guys said, ?I?d get the bosses wife but she went out for coffee.?

Just then someone said, ?Oh, here she comes now.? That?s right, the bosses wife was my distraction. THIS is now the most embarrassing moment of my life.

After a little more ribbing my fingers were finally free. It didn?t feel too bad for a second, then I think I cried like a baby. I did go in and get my part then straight to see a doctor. No broken bones, just some more chuckles.

Boy, the things we do to make peoples day!

Hey think of it this way: I bet you made a real impression on your "distraction"!  I feel for you.  My last name is Murphy, so Murphy's law hits us double.

Ouch.  I know the pain I did many years ago and I still have a problem with my thumb.  :'(

funny story, but remember:
Don't close your eyes next time you approach the dealer or when you see a good looking woman walking on the sidewalk......  ::)
