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.

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. :shakehead:

Danny,

Have you attemted to have the door key blessed by a priest. Or maybe an exorcism done on the other key. :P

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. :pound:

You could be on to something here... I should seek the appropriate counciling for the feelings of these inanimate things ... :)

Will no one defend the 'law of averages' here?? 100 - 0 ... what's a boy to think?

Hey Danny,

I just flipped a coin 50 times and the results are: Heads - 28. Tails -22. Not to bad for an average.

GOD BLESS

But clearly choosing a key is not necessarily a thing of chance. It's different scenario. Somehow he is choosing one key over another.

A loaded die will not behave according to the rules of probability.

Reminds of those old B Horror movies:

Pretty Polly Purebread is locked inside a creepy old haunted mansion inhabited by a Vincent Prices's pet zombie psychopath….

No — Polly don't open that door — it's not locked! She runs down dark hallway toward the bolted Locked front door seeking escape — what to do

Spying a hall desk she opens the top drawer — Vincent Price along with his zombie psychopath coming near and nearer slowly nearer…errie Music gets louder...

Looking inside, what does she see — a draw full of keys! Oh My — which one!

which one!?

As said there will be something affecting your desicion....BUT...say your outcome is 100 - 0, there will probably be someone out there with it 0 - 100 :D Thus, 50 - 50, and the law of averages stand :D

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 :shock:

Best answer yet!

I would only say that the 'law' theoretically stands in spite of my results.
