know what I first thought of when this was put in my handand I looked down at it?
concoidial fracture 
yup, this side too,concoidial fracture
amazing how those things we learn as students
actually do come in handy in real life
so when a kid literally hands you the car door handle
the first thing you notice
is how it resembled those concoidial fracture rock samples
from Geology class.
actually, one side broke off on one of those FREEZING mornings
when the door was literally frozen shut
and Michael didn't realize and tried to open it
the other side broke off when I was driving carpool
from Seminary to high school
and a new Freshman who didn't know
about our door handle we have to be careful with
was the last one out and he went to shut the door
and the handle came right off in his hand.
The poor kid looked so horrified.
I kept telling him to not worry about it,
that it was already mostly broken,
but he went off to class still looking terrible
and I looked down at the door handle
and thought
that's a concoidial fracture
