Lemonade

[Tom Cole]

What has worked well for me for a long time is to hold the keys in one
hand while I close the door with the other. The spare keys are in my office.

Well, it worked until one time, I was in New York driving a rented car
and stopped in a shopping center parking lot engaged in a conversation
with a friend. The key alarm was going "ding... ding... ding..." as I
locked and closed the door. After going about two steps I realized my
mistake and my passenger couldn't resist chiding me with, "What is there
about 'ding... ding... ding...' that you don't understand?"

My cell phone and a AAA card had us rescued in 15 minutes.

I like the new cars with the remote door locks.
