Lost My Keys, Now I Feel Dumb
“I lost my keys” – that is a dreaded phrase that includes feelings of panic, anxiety, and even embarrassment. It’s OK though, most everyone has lost their keys at some point.
Most of the time, “I lost my keys” is followed up by, “oh..here they are” or “viola, I’ve found them!” Most of the time.
But sometimes, when you’ve lost them. They’re gone.
Lost My Keys – Don’t Panic
Don’t worry, you can get them replaced (that’s what I do…replace lost car keys) and after a little bit of embarrassment (and a little bit of cash), you’ve got another set of keys and you’re on your way.
It’s a simple thing to recover from lost car keys (other things lost like a license or credit card, not so easy).
There Are Dumber Things Than “Lost My Keys”

Maybe he should have tried a skeleton key. Read More…
Perhaps if he had an Auto Remote he could have pressed the panic button.
Manoel Uses His Lighter Where He Shouldn’t
(29 January 2003, Brazil) At work, Manoel was responsible for cleaning out the storage tanks of gasoline tanker trucks. He had been employed in that capacity for two months when he ran afoul of fuel.
The 35-year-old began to fill a tanker with water, a standard safety procedure that forces flammable vapor out of the container. He returned an hour later to check whether the water level was high enough to proceed. But he had trouble deciding, because it was so DARK inside the tanker. Read more..
Have you seen our recent flashlight giveaway promotion? I guess Manoel didn’t.
