Very true! All keys must be considered capable of opening a door, starting a car - a plane - or locking a prison cell and so on. Some keys are made of plastic and look like a credit card. Some keys only have to be kept in your pocket and emit a signal which will unlock a door or start an engine when you are close by. All keys should be treated with equal respect and none should be favoured over another, ever.jlay wrote:How can you choose the wrong key, when there are no absolutes?

I think it is obvious that DannyM is a Key Racist, attempting to limit certain keys to certain actions and not recognizing that all keys are Equal and are Created with the Same Potential. Shame on DannyM.
Shame, shame, shame.

Have you attemted to have the door key blessed by a priest. Or maybe an exorcism done on the other key.
Maybe the other key suffers from an Inferiority complex, therefore needing to be picked first. If this is the case, several weeks of counseling should clear this up.

Just because you should get Heads - Tails - Heads - Tails, doesn't mean that you can't get stuck with Heads while someone else gets stuck with tails
