Do NOT be this guy---PIC
This popped up on my Facebook page today. I thought I would share with a group of people who can really appreciate the absurdity.

What is shown is what we call a hitch pin clip and it is installed on the hitch pin correctly. A cotter pin is usually used with a castle nut. One application is on a wheel spindle where the castle nut is tightened to the correct pressure and then a cotter pin is used to keep the castle nut in the correct place. After inserting the cotter pin through the spindle shaft he ends of the legs are bent around the spindle shaft in opposite directions to keep it in place.
