Many years ago I read about a guy who was mugged but saved his billfold because he gave the mugger his paper money in a money clip.
Ever since then, I have kept paper money in a money clip and driver's license and the rest of such stuff in a small billfold in my hip pocket.
I also try to keep the Cadillac key fob SEPARATE from anything else. That is, in a pocket all by its lonesome.
I made the mistake of breaking that rule this morning.
You guessed it.
It was raining like a cow piddling on a flat rock as I sat at the dining room table (kitchen is too damn small) sipping my coffee and I shifted in the chair, looking out the window to see - - -
THE FREAKIN' TRUNK ON THE FLEETWOOD SUDDENLY FLY OPEN!
The corner of a bill or the money clip itself had nudged the trunk release button on the keyfob.
Like I said, it was raining like a bastard, but I scrambled outside, damn near tripped over two of the dogs and hustled outside to shut the deck lid, got soaked, and ran back inside while my wife laughed her butt off.
IT WASN'T FUNNY, DAMMIT!:want:
