We have a safe in our room. This is great because most everything has to be paid in cash, but you don't want to carry all your cash with you all the time. We also kept our adoption documents and passports in it. It is programable with any four digit code that you want. John and I decided to use our anniversary for the number. We never said the number out loud, we just said let's use our anniversary. John programmed it in.
I didn't use the safe the first couple of days, but one day John is busy, so I try to open it. I put in our anniversary date, but the digital readout says, "ERROR". I try again. Again I get, "ERROR". I read the instructions then call to John whose in the other room. He says, "It's not that hard." So, I try again and get an error message. He says, "I'll come and help you in a minute."
He comes and watches me put the code in. All of a sudden he backs away, smiles, and says, "Oh". I said, "What? You didn't put in our anniversary?" He says, "No" and smiles. He ended up using the wrong month. Just the day before he had to tell the government officials what our date of marriage was and he got it right. What's funny is the number he used is Joe and Gail's, John's brother and sister-in-law's, anniversary.
