A flusterated woman with a little bitty boy Was fumbling with her keys, outside the grocery store Standing in the pouring rain getting soaking wet When I heard that yungun holler, “THAT'S A RED CORVETTE!”
That's not your car, Mom You know it's not Yours is a volkswagen, the other end Of the parking lot I know it's red, Mom Just the wrong kind I know you can't remember 'cause You do this all the time
My little sweetheart is a scholar with a pretty face But she don't know the difference in Fords and Chevrolets As we left the restaurant a car door slammed behind I turned around at the sound and THERE SHE SAT INSIDE!
That's not your car, Babe It's over here You know yours, is a Ford That's a Cavalier I know it's white, Babe Just the wrong kind I know you can't remember 'cause You do this all the time
My darlin' went along with me to hardware store I must have bought a ton of junk, a dozen tools or more While loading up the S.U.V. I met this other dude He turned his head around and said, "WHO IN THE WORLD ARE YOU"
(bridge) And as I shut the hatchback, my face was turning red My sweetheart was laughing hard.....as she turned and said
That's not your car, Dear You aughta to know It's plain to see, a G.M.C. And not a blue Tahoe I know it's blue, Dear Just the wrong kind I know you can't remember 'cause You do this all the time (tag)

No letterheads have ever done this? I guess that would be less likely to happen to us because our vehicles are lettered and customized huh? Didn't think of that. Anyway, we performed it yesterday at the Great American Bluegrass Fesitival in Dothan, AL. A show of hands revealed about 20 or so folks in the audience who had gotten in the wrong car at some time or another.

making a run from NY to Bisbee and back I was sleeping in my motel room when my pocket alarm went off and as I looked out the window there was someone fumbling with his keys and cussing. I dressed and went to my vehicle and said he had the wrong vehicle, he said I'm the chief of police and been drinking a little too much but know what vehicle I drive. I stood my ground and showed him his vehicle, same color make and model and unlocked my vehicle with my key fob, he apologized and offered me breakfast in the morning but there was too much at stake and 100 years never looked good to me.

As we were leaving a restaurant, I notice my wife LynnDee veer to the side and fall behind as we passed a white silverado pickup. I just cut my eyes back and kept walking, because she had gone to the wrong vehicle several times before. But this time when I took a few steps more, I heard this door shut, turned around and there she was sitting in this truck looking at me like "where are you going?". I just stood there and grinned. Finally she looked around inside, and her eyes got as big a saucers. She jumped out of that truck in a flash and we both laughed til we almost fell down on the spot. Everything started to go black....I think I almost fainted.
But a few years later, she got me back. We had just come out of Lowes when LynnDee let me walk over to this white Tahoe; only it wasn't my white Tahoe. I opened the hatch and inside on the front seat was this little dog which never made sound but kept cocking his head from side to side with a puzzled expressiom on his face like "you don't look like my master".

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping, and upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"
The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and get into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why.
A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and then drove to the police station. The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.
No Charges were filed.

My Dad told of when he took my Mom and her sister shopping. He waited in the car and watched them come out of the store and walk to a similar car. The door was unlocked and they got in and just kept on talking. Dad had to tell them they were in the wrong car. Bill

LynnDee copied our set off the cd, cut the song out of it in Windows Moviemaker and saved it as an MSWMM file. She emailed it to me but when I try to play it in WMM ,there's no sound. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Also, the file is only 414 KB. Is that big enough for a song? Thanks
PS I know this is all off topic, but I think a whole bunch of us heads are music makers.

A few years back, a friend and I were traveling and very tired, I stopped at a Holiday Inn to see if they had any rooms available... I had a silver 2 door Alero at the time. When I came out of the lobby, I walked around to the drivers side, hopped in said... "They're full"... put the car in gear and about that time "SCCCREEEEECCCHHHH" this strange woman let out a terrible noise beside me....
Someone else had pulled in, parked in front of my car... (much closer to the door) and walked in right after me, and yes, they had a silver Alero identical to mine.... that woman scared me much worse than I scared her and she's lucky I didn't floor the accelerator and wreck us there in the parking lot....
After a little confusion we both figured out what happened and had a good laugh.... although I think I invented a new level of embarrassment.
