Re: i feel stupid

Try this one, I own three Gm's and for some unknown reason I can't seem to put the right key in the door to unlock it every time.no not that one, this one? wait no ah yes this one WRONG.OK start over, pick up, one ton, suburban.
Dang, dropped the key's.
I've tried separating the keys.
putting the the keys on diffrent key rings.
even those little plastic things that slide over the keys to help differentiate the key's.
But you know the worst part? my wife always grins and smiles like, 'he's going to do it again', snicker snicker, she never says it but I know she's thinking it, that's the worst part!!!
well maybe not every time. but it some times feels seems like it.

I'd better go find that 9/16th's that grew wings and flew across the shop.
