Just one, about 30 years old, stored in the linen closet; I have no idea when I used it last. Probably when the spouse needed to press a shirt; he's hopeless about a) ironing, and 2) hanging up his clothes properly so they don't get wrinkled in the first place.

Oops have you ever gone the wrong way on a one-way street ?
LOL... Yep, as a matter of fact I did it recently when I was in Hawaii, but only for a very short distance. I didn't feel like driving for a couple of blocks to get on a street that went to a freeway entrance, so I made a turn onto a one-way street and drove the wrong way for about 100 feet. There was no traffic, and thankfully no police officers to arrest me and take me to some guy that said "Book him Danno!"....

Any creative "substitutes" I forgot that you have used ?
Oh, I just thought of something. Many years ago, I learned how to carry around loose kitchen matches to light various things. (lol ) and if I didn't have the box around, I would either strike the match by rubbing it really quick on the leg of my blue jeans, or use the zipper of my blue jeans.
I don't know what made me think of that. Just procrastinating folding 10 loads of laundry, I guess. LMBO!!!
