LOL! Yeah, that is one of those "ouch" moments. Once I was in New Haven visiting a St. John's alumni chapter with my wife. Afterwards, the faculty member who had also attended asked if we wanted to join him and an alum for a drink. (The alum was in grad school at Yale). So we started driving around town, hopping out of our cars, having them decide the place was not right, hopping back in our cars, and starting all over at a new bar. Finally, after peeking into half a dozen bars, they picked one, but this time, I was so tired and rattled by all the popping in and out, I left the keys in the car, which was running, and I had locked the automatic doors. I tried calling locksmiths, but had no luck, and was advised by a cop to break the driver's side window, because someone would, and steal the car. That is what I did. Mercifully, it was the sort of glass that shatters into little pieces, no big shards. At the hotel, there was a vacuum, so we got it up, but I ended up driving from New Haven to Annapolis with no window, keeping the heater on at full blast..........

When I was about 6 I was riding in the car, a '49 Plymouth. My mother told me to lock the door. Told me to push the handle toward the dash. At 6 I thought the dash was in the back and did it as she was turning left. Tossed me like a bad bull out of cute #2. I bounced like a ball across the intersection. Remember those nuts that were coated in hard sugar that became round? I lost my sack of those nuts. That was harder to loose than the skin.
