The Black Hole

[jBohmer]

Nice topic.

I have lost a full bottle of Brandy as well. Kind of glad though because if I had opened it I do not think I would have made it off the ice.

But a year or two ago, and I know this not technically losing something down hole, their was a bad storm during the day. I was planning on going fishing after work anyway but they closed our office early. Sweet, a few extra hours of fishing. The roads were bad. People were spinning out on small hills. On my way to the lake I pulled a lady out of the ditch. Well I got out to the lake and it was snowing so hard that you could barely see the shore on the tiny lake I was on. I was putting on warm clothes and closed my door of my truck when I was done. I guess I bumped my lock button and guess where my keys and cell phone were. It was still early in the afternoon and no one was home from work yet and I was not expecting anyone to get home soon due to the weather. I walked to the shore and I found a house with a kid plowing his driveway with a four wheeler. His mother was home and they helped me out. My wife could not get to me for hours and the lady offered to drive me home. Well my house keys were not availble either. Any locksmith I tried was too busy and just when I was about to give up the lady found a locksmith that said he could make it out. He was surprised when I told him that I need him out on the ice. He pulled up in PT Cruzer and that was not going to make it out. The kid gave him a ride on the fourwheeler and before I could walk out there he had my door open. I gave the guy an extra $20 and the kid my remaining cash. I then fished the night away feeling lucky. The next day I sent flowers to the lady who helped me.

As a kid I dropped more than a few of my dad's ice scoops down the hole. It got to the point I still get nervous scooping ice with my own, I'm always afraid it will slip through my gloves.

I lost a small tackle box with all my glow lures a few years back, pretty sure it went down the hole the day the wind blew my portable over with me in it...

Small walleye in one hand leatherman in the other. After throwing the wrong one back in the hole and sitting there with a dumb look on my face for a second my buddy casually says "So you gonna stick that fish in your pocket now".

Haha! Love it!

I've nearly done that before. Almost as bad was in my college days with a chew spitter in one hand a a beer in the other...

I went fishing yesterday - after following this thread the last few days I was so paranoid that I must have checked my pockets for my keys and cell phone a hundred times!

I watched a toe warmer fall off my buddies foot and into the black hole saturday... and a little later I let the lid to my waxies container fall into the hole... I hate seeing things go down the hole because it is polluting, but sometime you just can't help it!
