How to start off Christmas, Idiot style!

[[AK]Hylander]

OK... to help spread a little holiday cheer, I'm going to share an
embarrassing moment resulting because I'm a dumb @ss!! LOLOL

I needed to come into the office today from about 9 - 1, so I get up this
morning, running a few minutes late, so I just throw my tie on my briefcase
and stick my tie clip, watch, car keys and wedding ring in my pocket as I
head out the door. So as I get ready to get in the car I pull the stuff out
of my pocket and put everything down on the passenger seat except for my
wedding ring, which I put on the dash cluster where there is about a 1 1/2
inch lip in front of the gauges. So I buckle up, start up the car, etc and
put the car in gear and take off. Well I get to the end of the 2nd block,
stop sign, and turn left. I forgot to put my ring on and it slid over to
the right side of the dash as I was turning. As I straighten out it comes
back to center and I reach over the wheel to grab it. Can you guess what
happened?? Yep... I grabbed it and then proceeded to drop it down the
neck of the damn tilt steering and the ring goes down inside the damn
column! ROFLMAO

So as people come in this morning, I'm sitting there with 1/2 my body
sticking out from the front of my seat as I'm under there disassembling the
covering from under the dash so I can get my damn ring out! Luckily it
wasn't too complicated but it's not easy when all you have access to is an
el-cheapo Phillips head screwdriver in your glove department! (Have my tool
box in the house because I was working on some things).

Anyways... removed the screws and yanked out the entire bottom of the dash
covering, which wasn't easy because of the way the dash is 'layered' so it
fits nice and tight and I wasn't about to remove the top part of the dash
with gauges, etc so I just want to get the bottom out enough so I could pull
on it and get the ring to drop out. So I finally get the thing loose and I
pull on it and nothing. I start pounding left and right all over it trying
to bounce the ring around and nothing. So I finally get up, tilt the
steering wheel back and forth, start the car and crank the wheel left and
right and left and right and finally the damn ring falls out. I put the
dash back together and this is how I celebrate Christmas Eve morning. Wait
until I get to church tonight!

Your wife let's you get away with not wearing your wedding ring at all times?

LOL Bribo... she's pretty easy on that as long as I don't leave the house without it on!
