Yeah, you're right! It literally does.

Wow! Thanks very much.
> Ultimately, the actual Zombies had no ill will. In fact, Rod Argent cracked a joke: "When we finish our tour, we have to go out as a ZZ Top tribute band and repay the compliment," he told the Toronto Star in 2017.

Do you have a source for this? The Zombies I'm familiar with don't have that history.

Same with Boney M. 100 million record sales, and the group is Frank Farian.

I have tried WD40, so I'll get a lock lubricant, instead. Thanks.

Reply to TIL that France and Spain "went to war" over a few stop signs in the 1970s and 1980s when France built two new roads that crossed a Spanish road and installed new stop signs which Spanish citizens continually removed over and over again for years. This became known as the "War of the Stop Signs". by AxelNotRose
Wow! I read the page. What grudgery.

Video of problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM7wKrtQRcs
Lockset in knob sometimes jams. Lock is a Schlage Primus. We have a deadbolt and knob lockset that are identical with same key operating both. The deadbolt never jams; the video shows the key in the knob refusing to turn. We've had a locksmith out twice, and he can't find any problem with the lockset and blames operator error, although the jam never happens while he's there.
In the video, my wife shows the jammed lock, then when I try it it opens fine - this has never happened before. It's always been jammed for both of us when it has jammed.
Any clues? Does the video show what we're doing wrong?
When the locksmith was out the first time, he replaced and re-aligned the strike plate, and the door closes much better. However, we're still getting jammed on occasions.
