My husband and I went out to eat a couple of hours ago. On the way back we passed a parking lot where we saw a girl trying desperately with a wire hanger to get her keys out of her locked car. A damsel in distress… my husband can never resist. So we pulled in and he told the girl the he had a Slim Jim which he made a couple of years ago because our daughter was always locking her keys in the car. He has used this tool numerous times with no problem, but for some reason this time it just wasn’t working. After about 10 minutes another guy comes along and goes to the other side of the car, and takes the hanger from the girl and started trying to unlock it from that side. Another 10 minutes passed, both men now sweating, when a third guy walked up and claimed he could get it open in 10 seconds, because he had been in the “repo” business for ten years. So he took the antenna off her car and said the hanger wasn’t strong enough, and started to put it through the very small opening in the window that the second guy was working from. The second guy got aggravated and said “Go to the other side man.” Third guy went around to my husbands side… where the window wasn’t open at all, not even a hair, so he went back to the other side and ignored the second guy. Actually, they ignored each other, both in a race to get the same door open. I was watching with amusement from my husbands truck, kind of betting in my mind who would win the race. After about 40 minutes, I yelled out the window, “HEY when this is all over, y’all have a pissing contest, I’d like to see that.” The girl and her friend got a good laugh out of that, the men did not. FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY, the third guy succeeded. The door opened and the girl yelled, “YES! THE ANTENNA GOT IT!” I couldn’t resist, could I? I just had to yell, “The hardest rod always wins.”

I’m still not being spoken to.
