Recently, this church key has come to our conscious attention. I use it often, but rarely actually look at it. We have only this one, from a long gone brewery, and it's stayed with us, presumably, through our many moves in the way any of our indistinguishable forks have. I have no memory of getting it, but most surely it was from when I lived in Detroit. Possibly from my parents' house. Maybe from a thrift store when I was in college. So, it's stayed with me through innumerable moves, the divorce... one of those weird little inexplicable anomalies. Lost all my recipes, dishes, furniture, but I have my bottle opener! No, didn't happen like that. Little thing just hung on and stayed.
Well, sure. Why not?

I reckon we all have one or two of those 'things' in the kitchen drawer. Things we'd miss if we lost 'em.
I have a smaller Falstaff version that was my parents'. I think it had a long history of riding in the glovebox of various cars.
Where else would it have gone/go?
h,
But how would we know, if we aren't really even aware of having them around?
mbick,
Drinking and driving, eh? Tsk, tsk.
Phil,
Same place the other sock and all the pens go.

gz,
Careful, there's a lot of excess belief sloshing around.
