</div>

Car and house keys  
Keys to my mother’s house (for emergency purposes only)  
Post office box key  
the key to the club I used to lock my car with  
They key for the lock on the front of my computer tower  
A couple of unitdentifiable keys. What the heck are they? I have no idea.

A leather square with a metal square hanging on it. The metal square used to have a picture glued on it with the caption “Roman fort of Arbeia.” It’s a souvenier from two weeks spent volunteering at an archaeological dig in South Shields. The picture fell off years ago, and the loop that holds the leather to the ring is going to wear through before long.

I think I’m the big winner. (Or the big loser)

I don’t have a keychain! The only two keys I use are for the truck and the house. Until recently it was only the truck key but because of [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=187444&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) I’ve started locking my house.

Wait a minute. Maybe I wasn’t supposed to post here. . .
