If I recall, that funny taste is due to the broken teeth in your mouth. At least the last time I had a mouthful of busted up teeth it tasted funny. Kind of pissed me off too because I knew it was going to be expensive. It was.

Now that's FUNNY! But you know, it isn't that outlandish to think it could happen. There's something called the "Six Handshake Rule" whereby all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other!
I've also heard that today, with all the different types of communication available: Any two people in the world will each know of another person that each know of the same person. That would make it only 5 handshakes away! Crazy!
I'll check my stash of blue jeans and if I find something that doesn't belong to me, I'll report back.

In my County, it’s a two hand shake rule. 110k people. I actually predicted that correctly in 2015. Sad story involving the death of a friend’s adult child, so I won’t go into it now.
brother of mine texted me a pic of a mustang notchback that I had been looking for. Problem is, it was 5 1/2 hours away (one way) and since I live by myself nobody to "drive" it back. I wanted it. Called the seller, says yep I'll hold it til 1:00 pm. Hurried up, loaded up the enclosed behind the truck, hauled booty to get there. COLD rain falling, windy, just nasty weather. I get there the car is sitting in a mud hole, water up to teh bottom of the doors. In a car lot, back side, can't really get to it. Went inside said let's get it pulled out so I can inspect. Of course he can't find the key. I said ok let's push it out of the hole. 3 flat tires, ain't pushing it. Place had a wrecker, said they couldn't find the key to the wrecker. Awesome. So I looked it over the best I could, wasn't too bad so I went back inside and sat down and said here's the deal. I am NOT paying you $1400 for it. You've lied to me about "it runs", no key so you cant verify. Guy says make me an offer. I said $400 cash not a penny more. Guy said if you're serious, and I know I've made mistakes, take it with you. I handed him the cash, FOUGHT HARD to get it loaded into the trailer. It wouldn't steer so I just had to put a floor jack under the front crossmember and drag it in with the winch. Took almost 2 1/2 hours to get it into the trailer. Left, drove home. Next day (I was off work, a rarity in itself) decided to unload it into the shop, again fighting with the floor jack since it won't steer. Finally got it out of trailer and into the shop. Drilled the ignition lock out and went & bought a new lock assembly. Got it cranking over, no compression. PUlled the head, found 4 stuck intake valves. Cleaned them up, went into town & got a head and valve cover gasket, threw it back together and fired it right up. Ran good. Cool now I can start cleaning it up, it was NASTY inside. Pulled the seats out. Pulled the console out. Once the console was out, I found they key. Only one key. At that point I'm like well crap, already this far along, finding the key is kind of moot now. Fox mustangs all had 2 keys from the factory UNLESS it was a cop car (aka SSP). Mine had the one key, fit all the locks, so I found out later on with my VIN and some paper work, that it was an SSP car from Missouri state patrol in the 1990's. Kinda cool, they're a little bit rare.
Ended up having it painted, dark blue (original color) also put a 2.3L turbo engine from an SVO in it, with mild mods. Fun to drive, lots of attention, good mileage, and cheap (very cheap) transportation. Drove it almost 6 years like that until I got an offer from nowhere to buy it for a good bit of cash. Couldn't not sell it. 1 hour exactly after it left I was at the ford dealer, ordered a new 2022 Mustang also a 4 cylinder turbo which I still have. So far so good. And this 2022 ain't got no key at least not the traditional kind of key.
