Always carry a couple of plungers

1. But if your plungers are in your car and you're locked out of the car,

what good are the plungers?

2. I'm thinking this is a situation where you see a child or a pet locked in someone elses car

and you have plungers in your car which can be used to remedy the situation.

3. I walk around with a plunger in each back pocket and a roll of tape stuck to my head.

People don't mess with you, then.

4. That's cool! ...but...

..if I see a child or pet locked in a hot car, I'm breaking a window immediately.

5. I'm not sure I always carry something that can be used to break open a car window.

6. I keep a car window hammer in my glove box.

7. I have one in my car too.

But I don't walk around with it.

9. Maybe you should. People might find you... interesting.

Of course, I wouldn't walk around with two toilet plungers, either.

10. A few months ago I posted a story about a woman

whose automotive electrical system went haywire while she was driving. She could not open the doors and she burned to death in the car... about 10 miles from where I live.

I bought one of those and have it strapped to my sun visor. If I'm trapped or someone else is, I'm ready.

But if my toilet overflows or my sink clogs, I want to be ready for that too.

[Think. Again.]

8. If a child or pet...

...is suffering in a hot car, I do hope you would try something.

11. Electric window, not roll down.
