She explained that there had been a rash of thefts of ladies purses from the women’s room lately and she would be more comfortable if she didn’t have it with her. I agreed and said I would wait there. When I saw her keys attached to the side of her purse, I knew what I had to do. Suddenly the solution to Gino’s problems became very clear to me. I got the attention of one of the men in the hardware department and asked him to make a key for me. He looked nonplused to see a man carrying a purse, but I’m somewhat effeminate and he just passed it off with a shrug. I gave him the key to momma’s lab and he finished in a few minutes. He told me I could pay for it at either the automotive section or up front.
