Did you ever do this? Last viewed: 3 hours ago

I got one. Have you ever gotten onto an elevator and pushed the bottom of the floor you're already on. And couldn't figure out why the elevator wasn't working.

I've done that a few times over the years in the apartment buildings I've lived in.

There's your 'Kodak Moment' right there! LOL

> finally found it where I had left it,

Back in the 70's I took my wife to a Spanish Restaurant we loved in Manhattan. The area was so busy, we had to park several blocks away. After we downed a pitcher of the restaurant's home-made Sangria during dinner, neither one of us could remember where the hell we had parked the car. It took us three hours to find it! We walked ourselves sober looking for it.

It was right where we had left it. The problem was, we were both so lit up from the Sangria, neither one of us could recall where 'where' was! LOL

You're not alone... $hit happens.

Too many great drums to list here!

I didn`t do this but a drummer friend of mine did.He got to a gig 2 hrs away and realized he`d forgotten two drum accessories just before he had to play(his sticks & kick pedal).Being resourceful as he was...he went into the kitchen and borrowed two of the chef`s spoons,then to the bathroom.I know what capacity the spoons filled,but it was the trip to the bathroom? He bundled up a 1/4 of the toilet paper roll into a ball and duck taped it to the toe of his right shoe and kicked the bass drum all night with that wad o` toilet paper. Now...you can imagine how sore and tired his right leg must have been.Moral of the story...when you`ve got to save your a$$,a little trip to the bathroom might be the best remedy?

We lost our car once at Who concert, and we were sober, not hard to do.


Thank you!

ok....I'll save the best for last.....

lately when my wife and I go to the gym together, I drop her off at the door, (2 reasons, I park my new challenger like a block away, and 2 so she doesn't slip on the ice)

I do the same when we leave, I get the car and pick her up at the front door.

last week, as she waited for me by the door, I proceeded to my car, started her up, and happily started to drive home. at a stop sign, I started saying

"well, dear what are we going to have for dinner" she didn't answer me, so I turned my head and said holly crap, I forgot her.

needless to say it was a lively conversation when I finally did get her.

Lots of Slingerland drums

Forgetting the wife?!!!! Yep, I think we have a winner folks. If you weren't driving a new Challenger, you could have tried the old "sorry, hon, the car wouldn't start" excuse.

I don't know what impressed me most about that story... the fact that you own one of the new Challengers, or the fact that you go to the gym with your wife. Kudos either way.
