Beat this
 
This morning, I was changing the blade on my edge trimmer. In doing so, I had to break the cotter pin to get the nut off. I didn't have any cotter pins, so I had to make a dreaded trip to Lowe's on a Saturday to buy some.

I got into my truck and was at the end of the driveway when I noticed a small package laying on the road. I got out of my truck and picked it up.

It was a package of cotter pins that had fallen out of somebody's vehicle.


EEEEEEEEEEWWWWHHH!!!! :22yikes:

No way! Is that true or is this one of those posts where we try to top that? Like, this morning I was putting around and realized my Cleavis pin had fallen off. ;)

And of course, you as a law abiding citizen, immediately took the lost package of cotter pins to the proper authorities and proceeded to Lowe's to purchase one.

OMG, I thought you said cleavage pin and just couldn't visualize that! So, I Googled the term for clearification. BTW, is it one of those long pins that some of us use to secure our heads once placed over our necks? :loco:
