Default How is this for luck! Long....

This afternoon walking down on 3rd Ave my cell phone rings, having my hands full I reached into my pocket and pulled the phone out along with the keys for my TTR. All I know is that I tried to do a one hand catch as I watched my keys go thru the grids on the sidewalk right into the subway shaft....after cursing for ten minutes I realized that my spare keys are at work. I look down and I can see the reflection of the 4 rings and the key had opened from the impact. What to do! I'm thinking go to the subway station and ask them to retrieve my keys hahahaha good luck this is NYC..better chance in finding a winning lotto ticket in Grand Central station in the middle of rush hour. So I start to walk down the street and noticed someone had thrown out a small pair of computer speakers and some other office garbage...."Bling" light bulb goes on inside..I take the speaker and smash it on the ground. I looked in the garbage and found telephone wire..walked back to the subway grid with a broken magnet and some telephone wire...one shot...got my key out.... I'm playing lotto tomorrow.....the magnet and wire will be hanging in my office as well......
