Touched??

Yesterday I had our Toyota van serviced. Standard lube and oil change, but there is also an annoying seat belt warning on the dashboard. At first it was intermittent and would go away when relocking the seat belt. Eventually, it began flashing every 2-3 seconds without cessation and was becoming a minor nuisance. I even wondered if the long term visual effect of a flashing light would be to burn a hole in my retina. Out with the shades, I thought. So the guys in the shop checked it out and said they couldn't get the light to come on. I remarked, "You've really got the touch!". "Or touched", he replied. So I settled up with the cashier and headed for Little Rock. I hadn't gotten out of the parking lot when the seat belt light came on again and continued flashing all the way to Little Rock. I didn't have time to return and show them the light, but will follow up on my next trip. Touched? or Got the Touch?
