I was over at a friend's house last Wednesday and as everybody was about to leave, somebody said he lost his keys. Well, he has a habit of locking them in his car, so he was just about to go out and look for them when he realized that he needed a flashlight, which is where my L4 comes into play. I whip it out (the flashlight, you perverts /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) and hand it to him. He, and many other people, pretty much asked in unison, "Are you a boyscout?" and gave me a weird look for having a light on me. I told them no (do boyscouts carry flashlights all the time or soemthing?). Anyway, he found his keys locked in his car and called AAA. As he was waiting outside for AAA, I saw bright flashes on the lawn moving towards the house. The door opens and one of my other friends starts flashing everybody in the room with the L4 saying, "This thing is bright!" Of course, everybody wants to see it so it goes around the room and finally back to me. The general consensus was that the L4 was cool (and I totally agree /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif).
So my L4 saved the day (actually, night), but it wasn't any kind of life saving thing. The sad thing is that somebody actually asked me why I carry a flashlight around after it helped the guy find his keys; I just looked at him and said, "You know the guy who just needed the light? Well, that's why I always carry one around. You never know when a light will be needed." I didn't think he gets it, but oh well, one day he will see the light (pun intended).
