8. Thank you, Captain Obvious

Why in pluperfect hell would I keep looking after I found it?

12. Sometimes I keep looking

Just to prove them wrong.

4. I like to paraphrase a Sherlock Holmes quote...

When you have ruled out every possible place it could be, it must be somewhere else.

11. Lost stuff, eyeglasses while walking (near) off road along Redwoods Highway, found a week later

Lost stuff, eyeglasses while walking (near) off road along the Redwoods Highway in the northern California, by the edge of the Eel River bluff. I tried retracing my path from the car without success.

A week later, returning from my trip, I stopped at the same place to look again.
Trying to retrace my past path from memory, I past again the places I'd been, finding nothing as before.
Returning sadly to the car, I needed to cross a bed of fallen branches, crackling under foot, I watched my footing where glinting below, my glass lens caught the sun, signaling surely I found the eyeglasses I sought.

14. Story time, Floyd.

Me: I lost my roll of painters tape.

Him: I didn't take it.

Me: I didn't say that you did. If you happen to see around some place, could you put it aside for me?

Him: Sure

Me: Thank you.



--------------------------------------------------------

Me: I think that I lost the serrated kitchen knife.

Him: I didn't take it.

Me: I didn't say that you did. If you happen to see around, could you set it aside for me.

Him: Okay

Me: Thank you.

15. My wife says this everytime I'm looking for something.

Which isn't much help if it's something I really need right now, like a band-aid.

Then when it turns up six months later she exhonorates herself by saying "See? I told you it was around here somewhere." Being correct is pointless with that time frame.

16. I also groan at the "should be" answer.

"Where's the mayonaise?"

"It should be in the refrigerator."

"I know it should be, but it's not or we wouldn't be having this conversation."
