A humorous thing in a similar vein happened to me last year. I was on a business trip to Valley Forge PA in January where I rented a car. It was the beginning of the "Snowpocalypse" the East suffered last Winter. The rental car didn't come with an ice scraper, so I had to stop and buy one. When I left
to fly back to the West coast, I took it with me because, darn it, I bought it!
After getting stuck in Minneapolis for a night, I barely had a day at home to repack before flying all the way back to the East coast, and on to Jamaica for a wedding. After arriving in Jamaica, I was going through my bag and found the scraper tucked in a side pocket. Imagine me standing in a room on a tropical island in the Caribbean, contemplating the ice scraper in my hand. Laughing, I showed it to my wife and said "I'll bet there isn't another one of these within a thousand miles of here." I wonder if I'm the first idiot to take an ice scraper to Jamaica?

Wasn't Jamaica the Caribbean country to send a Bobsled team to the Winter Olympics a few years back?
