One day(I was very young!!) my Donkey Kong(remember those?) game just stopped working so I naturally went to my older sister to ask why it stopped working? She said "The batteries are dead". About a half hour later she found me in the backyard - I had buried the batteries in the sand. She laughs about to this day...I'm embarresed to this day!:)
