Have your keys recently been thrown out the window and you are nowe asking that it not happen again, or were you slightly intoxicated and this is a reminder to yourself to not throw your keys out the window? Either way, it just makes good sense.
yah...when i was living at purdue during the summer after my sophomore year, i got mad and threw my keys out the window/through the window. the carabiner that was on my keychain struck the glass in such a way that the break in the window was nearly completely circular. the keys then proceeded to fall down 7 or 8 stories.
and that's how i threw my keys out the window.
the end.
You should have taken a picture of the glass, I bet it looked neat-o. Though I am sure it sucked that you had to retrieve your keys.
