“I don’t always carry all the groceries on one arm, but when I do, my keys are in the wrong pocket”

“I don’t always carry all the groceries on one arm, but when I do, my keys are in the wrong pocket” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. One image involves “The Most Interesting Man in the World” advertisements, a parody of, “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis.”
