The experience below may have been the most embarrassing day of my life–and considering how many such moments I’ve had, that is really saying something!

Many years ago I’d volunteered to take a car load of stuff that my employer needed for the booth of a job fair to our area’s convention center. When I arrived I noticed with frustration that the road leading to the dock was long and narrow, and that there was an even longer queue of drivers waiting to unload their vehicles one by one as each eventually became the first in line at the single unloading point.

When I saw the line, I looked at my watch and sighed. Based on how slowly the line seemed to be moving I estimated that if I was lucky I’d probably just barely be able to unload, park my car, and get the booth set up in time…

    Never again locked your keys in your car? Ah, if only Bob & I could learn our lessons that quickly. Sorry to say, we don’t seem to have that knack! Thanks for the chuckle! 🙂

      LOL! Some lessons–like a cat who jumps on a hot stove–only need to be learned once. A cat will never again jump on a hot stove–or a cold one either. Hat tip to Mark Twain for that observation, though he most likely said it much better.
