>> The person that hid the secret latch is the dunce.

Seems like the individual followed the manufacturing specs.

[It’s 107• in Arizona, which will turn you into a Hot Pocket in no time]

Pepperoni?

I’ve never actually eaten a Hot Pocket though.

I was trying to buy something out of the vending machine. Items kept getting stuck LOL. Looked like they would bounce free. Money wasn’t really an issue in those days.

Well, I got my items. All that I paid for.

AND .... about 9 Hot Pockets dropped too. Hot Pockets were $1 retail at that time.

I called the woman who owned the vending machines. I told her I’ll send you $10 to cover the retail price of the Hot Pockets, just give me an address. I offered and offered and offered.

She insisted that I not worry about it. I truly wanted to send her the money - they were all frozen and I put them in my insulated lunch bag as they would have just gone bad.

BUT I got the phone number and called her as soon as I woke up the next day after sleeping (after I got back from work).

Somebody else ate all of the Hot Pockets (put them in the freezer at the house). I wanted to try ONE. LOL Just to find out what they were like.

Just look around to see who called in sick to figure out who ate your 9 Hot Pockets. Jim Gaffigan's Hot Pockets

You’re supposed to keep a punch tool in case of emergency - or really anything that can break your window.

Newer gas cars also have this happen as the car makers are getting rid of the mechanical linkage to the door lock and replaced with an electronic door lock. Battery dies and even the key won’t work when trying to get in the car!

Tesla should be fined a huge amount for HIDING the door latch in the arm rest. When your car is on fire and you have seconds to get out and get the kids out of the backseat, most people would look for the door latch on the door!

I watched Steve Martin and Martin Short on a SNL clip on Youtube.
Steve Martin was reading what his eulogy would be when Martin Short passed away.

BUT I’LL ALWAYS BE HAUNTED BY MARTY’S LAST WORDS

#16 Top Gear / Clarckson’s Farm was recorded being stuck inside some supercar. He could not figure out how to open the door!

When cars go out in deep water I’ll bet the safety switch doens’t work either. Same with ICE cars...

My FJs are wired through the roof. Had both in rivers, deep mud, etc. Also, they have old fashioned doors with handles and clunky locks.
