Interesting list. I see chocolate is right up there. It reminds me of this past New Years Eve. My wife and I had scheduled a small house party with some friends. Someone and I won't mention who, although it wasn't my wife had placed a tray of chocolate covered coconut balls on the buffet in our bar area.
Being in a hurry because guests were scheduled to arrive in the not to distant future, I had placed the tray just an inch or two too close to the edge of the buffet. When I returned with the next tray of goodies I noticed the tray was on the floor and the 30 or so chocolate coconut balls were no where to be found.
My GSP stood sheepisly about 3 feet away well awhare that she was in trouble. To shorten up a long story, our guests arrived precisely at the moment the hydrogen peroixide kicked in and were greeted with my GSP depositing all the coconut balls in the middle of our driveway.
I spent the rest of the evening checking on her to make sure everything was all right. Everything turned out for the best with only my driveway suffering a bit.
But it goes to show how quickly things can happen if you don't pay attention.
