For a week I have worn 6 AA, 2 AAA, 2 coins, 1 key + chain

Finally they got hot today, I mean really hot.

Lesson learned ... pocket change and batteries don't belong together.

1. One of my favorite gifts EVER was a little simple black leather magnetic money clip...

.
.
.
... bought for me by the blind woman who raised my BIL. She got it "because it felt
so nice". She was a sweetheart with a positive, FUN attitude and an affection for
adventure and new experiences. I think if she had been 40 or 50 years younger...
I might have proposed to her.

Used to keep it in my back pocket with my wallet.
.
.
.
Erased 2 or 3 ATM cards before I realized that magnets and ATM cards do NOT mix.
.
MFM: "I don't know WHY you guys can't supply me with an ATM card that WORKS
for more than a week or so!!!"

Fucking doofus.

2. I saw a co-worker dance a jig when he tried to steal a 9v battery from work

The moral of the story is...

If you're going to steal a 9v battery from work, put a piece of electrical tape over the electrodes, or keep your change in another pocket.
