Much to my surprise as I approached the boat I could see the pee hole was
still spitting water out, that's when I realized the engine was still
running.


The Gas Grill is my nemessis.

I leave it on "High" (lid down) to clean it for 10 minutes, after the meat's
been served - which invariably turns into hours more often than not.

My job: Setup, clean, cook, serve.
Her job: Remember (for me) to turn grill "Off" ...while we're eating.

Sounds just like our house.

Hahaha... I've done that. Only one time, I forgot there was a burger
near the back where I didn't notice it. An hour and a half later, I
remember the grill's still on. I shut it off, open it up, and there's
the burger. Ugh. So I go to scrape it off with the spatula, and it
dissolves into a pile of ash when I touch it.

Yummmmmm.....

airport, and we didn't notice for a day or two. Finally, when someone
else needed it, we realized that NO ONE knew where it was! A few
frantic phone calls tracked it down... Only in Iowa! :-)

Only in Iowa? Not hardly. Most of the western US would qualify.

After 'Movie Night' concluded tonight (a double feature, BTW, with the
REAL "Memphis Belle" World War II documentary film, and "One Six Right"
-- the absolutely terrific movie about Van Nuys airport, released last
fall) -- one of our guests for the night, a pipeline pilot, asked to
borrow our courtesy van to fetch a bite to eat.

He came back in a couple of minutes later, to report that the battery
was dead, and that he had found the key turned to the "on" position.
None of us could figure out why anyone would do that, when it suddenly
dawned on me...

...I had moved the van back three feet to mow the grass. The front
bumper was overhanging the lawn, and I only needed to move it a bit.
However, I didn't want to just start it and stop it right away, cuz it
hadn't been run in a week, so I left it to warm up, and resumed mowing
the lawn.

That was last week, Friday. Today is Tuesday.

It had a full tank. 30 U.S. gallons...

I am of the assumption that the statement "Only in Iowa" would mean
that the car had not actually been stolen but merely misplaced.

Which if the case, it would then disqualify all major US cities.
With no distinction between Western or Eastern, Northern or
Southern cities.

Exactly where do you hide this thing to park it, that it could sit running
through Friday evening and all of Saturday without attracting comment? :-)
Probably ran dry by Sat night. Also, I guess you don't have much call for
the courtesy van, if you got through the whole weekend without needing it.
Gee, I'm glad I'VE never done anything like that!! ;-}
