THE LAST PLACE I LOOKED

I lost my keys and spent about 45 minuets looking for them. I finally found them and my wife Robin makes the usual comment about them being in the last place that I looked and I thought to my self of course it was in the last place I looked I found them why would I look any further and I started thinking about it If I looked in one room or ten rooms when I found the keys that is the last place I would look as I stopped looking if I Looked and found them in the first place I looked would it not also be the last place I looked as I already found them why look any further so when you find some thing is it not your last place that you looked for it thanks for the rant

Yes,
It is just one of those inane things people say.
I have been with my girlfriend for 33 years, she always says " where did you have it last "?................................................
If I knew that, I would look there first!

We searched high and low for two hrs for my brother's glasses before leaving on a trip . Finally, we gave upland decided to leave. There they werecon the truck hood. I'm sure there is some sort of a moral or lesson here.

It would be a supreme waste of time for me to look for things "the last place I had it" or "where I left it", because I have a wife that puts things "where they belong".

Unfortunately, where she thinks things belong and where I think things belong are diametrically different.

She gripes because I'm always asking her where my things are. As an example:

"Baby, where's the loading manual I left on the dining room table?"

"Where did you leave it?"

"Uh... on the dining room table... it's not there anymore, so I thought I'd ask..."

"Then look where it belongs."

"Where does it belong?

"I swear. Why am I expected to keep track of everything in the house?"

"But, Baby... you..."

"Look for it yourself."

"Yeah, thanks Doll..."

When I "lose" my glasses, about the last place I look (until told about it by my Green-Eyed Monster) is on the top of my head...................

Not quite the same, but close. My workbench looks like a bomb hit it, but I can find anything I want on (in?) it. Small screw, washer, tool, no worries. My wife cleaned it up for me once, I couldn't find anything for months. Nothing worse.

Whenever I "misplace" something... I just wait 24 hours... and ask my wife where it is... She won't have looked for it, moved it or anything... she just updates her mental inventory about once a day...

But... sometimes I'm able to stump her... my little Nikon has been missing since Christmas when I went over to 86ers... must be out in my shop... or p/u... or my... no, can't be there!!!

You know, that's like "Why is it that the slowest guy in a line of cars on the highway is always the first in line". Why can't he get in the back?

LOL! Guy I used to hunt with hated the route I liked to take because of an 80 mile stretch of 2 lane, which he complained about because every time he went down it he would always get stuck behind some slow poke with bunches of cars stacked up behind him. I told him in all my trips down that road that never happened to me. When he expressed disbelief , I went on to explain how every time I would get to a passing zone a bunch of cars would pass me, but I never got stuck behind any slowpokes.

AND, whenever you look for something it's always in the last place you look.


Cause when you find it you quit looking.

[grouse]

I always think when someone tells me they found something "in the last place they looked" what maybe they mean is they found there something in "the last place they would have thought to look.

Yeah, when I hear that saying its like someone scratching on a chalk board...!
