Dum Du Du Dum Dum Dumb!

G'morning all. I'm sort of in a rush to get to the shower so I can make it in to work this morning, but I thought I'd share one of my not so brilliant moments with you. Last night, I had to take Pebbles to teach her evening class [this is around 6:30pm or so] when I suddenly decided that my car was dirty and that I really really need to wash it [especially since all the salt and stuff they put on the road to melt the snow and provide traction tends to corrode the vehicle's undercarriage]. So, I drove to the automated car wash and voila! My car was nice and shiny within 5 minutes.

So, we flash forward to 8:15pm, when Pebbles calls me to pick her up. Sure, no problem, I grab my jacket, scarf, gloves, cellphone, and keys and head out the door. Wait a secound, is this my car? why doesn't the key fit in the lock? S#!+, the lock's frozen! Water from the car wash got in and froze the lock. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees F (I think), the temperature outside at the time was about 12 degrees F...therefore, it would make sense that the lock would freeze, right? Now why the hell didn't I think of that before I took the car to the car wash? Simple, because I'm dumb ;). Oh well, at least the lock on the passenger side didn't get frozen, so I can get into the car from that way...just don't be expecting me to get into my trunk anytime soon!

Anyhow, I gotta go do my thing and get outta here...educating young minds today you know!
