Password Panic

I turned my laptop on at work today. I entered my password. *Invalid username or password.* Huh? I tried my password again and again. Same. I start to panic. I open my workstation and start downloading ophcrack livecd to crack my password. I shit my pants. It's gotta be a virus. I try all my online passwords. None work. I try them again. Damn. Then I pay closer attention to what I type. Turns out pressing the '5' key doesn't input a character. I think how the hell I'm going to get my laptop keyboard fixed. It's still brand new! Then I hope it's just something stuck underneath the key. I get out my trusty swiss knife and the toothpick in it. I try to pick underneath the key. Yay! It was a freaking rice grain. How the hell did that get there? I'm happy again.
