My key ring is beginning to look an awful lot like sumthin' a GIRL would carry...
Assuming girls have bottle openers, P-38s, dog tags, a utility tool, yadda, yadda, on their key rings. I think not, somehow. That said, there's more junk than keys on that ring... five actual keys vs. six other items.

I don't know what ever happened to my dog tags. I do have a P-38, a small LED flashlight and one key (for the car) on the main key ring. I have a second key ring with all of the house keys and the like for when I can't open the garage door automatically. There's a third key ring with no keys that signifies I am retired from all those things that made it necessary for me to have extra keys.
ReplyDeleteKeys are a burden best left for those who think they signify importance.
I read somewhere that the less keys you have, the higher your status. The examples given were that of the tremendously wealthy, who are chauffeured everywhere they go, have butlers or maids to open the door to the manse, and various flunkies to open other doors, as opposed to a janitor... who has a key for every door in the building. Makes sense to me. I could get by with three keys... car, house, and mailbox. But I don't want to misplace those other two... they're important.
DeleteAnd... ain't P-38s GREAT?
Maybe you should get a purse, Buck. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa. And ha. ;-)
DeleteJust think of the damage you could do to someone if you threw your keys at their head! They should be banned or controlled!
ReplyDeleteI just have the huge honking car key, house keys to 3 houses and the box that holds all the guns. I guess if I ever run into one of those cans of food made before the beginning of the last century without a self opening gizmo on it, I can always use gunfire to open it and I have plenty of bottle openers in my car
Heh. Bottler openers in the car... you reprobate, you. ;-)
DeleteWe girls have thingies on our key ring to help us find our keys in our pursees and as a way to be more organized. Pull out key ring and show pictures of the grandbaby, or file your nails, or flash a light, or blow a whistle when attacked, or mace the attacker, or dig some coins from a smaller purse, etc. When we reach into our purse, which holds all our other needs plus the things our husbands do not want to carry and our kids might need, we can find the big honkin' wad of keys-etc in the bottom of the purse easily. A good key chain is like a filing system.
ReplyDeleteToby carries one key - no ring, therefore, I'm allowed one key with a tiny flashlight. Whichever car Toby drives, the key will fit in his pocket. He hates a wad of keys. In my purse I carry a key ring with all sorts of keys to everyone's houses, but to no cars. Toby needs me if he wants in anywhere. If I drive anywhere, I better have a pocket, 'cause if I put that one little key in my purse, it is a gonner.
I've seen some wimmen's "key rings" and they are truly an amazing sight. Smurfs, photos, keys, miniature compacts... yadda, yadda. Do they really NEED all that stuff? Which is a rhetorical question, of course.
DeleteAh yes, the key ring. I better not go there, too many skeletons in my own closet I have.
ReplyDeleteOT - Buck I was talking to my daughter the Nuke today, she was perusing your offerings here and said she knows, or knows of your SN2. Is he in recruiting? The Nuke recruits nukes (go figure right?) When I asked her "D'ya mean to tell me you know Commander Sam Pennington?" She responded with, "Why yes, believe I do".
Small world, neh?
FWIW The Nuke's real-world moniker is LT Monika Coxe. Her married name, natch.
Sam is indeed in recruiting, being the CO of Navy Recruiting District, Pittsburgh. And yeah: small world, indeed. I'll forward your comment to Sam.
DeleteAwesome. Six degrees of separation indeed!
DeleteI have a P38 on my key chain and I'm a girl!!! I DID have my dog tag on it til about a year ago when I realized that it had my SSN and I thought the better of it. Now it hangs on my mantle!
ReplyDeleteHC
My apologies, HC. ;-)
DeleteI've often thought about that SSAN thing on my dog tag but if I lose my keys it's the ONE thing that might bring 'em back to me.
That is a thought; I do have LifeAlert. What, me worry??
DeleteHC
Yup. I had a girlfriend once who had about two pounds of crap on her key ring. Three keys (2 car, 1 house) and every frickin' whatnot she ever received, including a troll doll. I'd drive her car sometimes when we were together and that frickin' thing would whack into my knee until I had a bruised kneecap (and it was an AMC Gremlin, so it was like driving a fishbowl, but that's another sorry tale.)
ReplyDeleteYour ex-GF is EXACTLY what I'm talkin' about.

ReplyDeleteOh, yeah... there's one more item on the main key ring.
ReplyDeleteIt's similar to the challenge coin and kinda serves the same purpose.
I think I might know what that is.
