One day, my wife came home from running errands in our 85.  She told me that
the horn had been beeping by itself.  She was in a busy area and other
drivers were glaring at her.  Then it stopped .

I conducted a thorough investigation and found nothing.

Another day it happened and continued as she pulled into our driveway. Still
I could find nothing.

Some weeks later I was driving the van and the horn started beeping. That was
when I discovered the cause of this commotion.

Many of you will be disappointed to learn that the plaintive sound was not
related to the misfortune of a previous owner, nor the appearance of a seldom
seen comet. No, the unintended signalling was simply due to a key on my ring
sliding between the steering wheel and column, thus shorting the horn ring
and blowing the horn.
