Be certain it is not extra keys on your keyring.  It is possible to get a
metal key in there far enough to short out the horn contacts.

Eric,

My guess is that the wire that goes down the steering column has
a bare spot in the insulation that shorts out sometimes.
Might be something wrong in the horn switch itself, but I doubt it.
It's probably time to pull a new wire.
