Always the last place you look
You know that quip about how you always find something in the last place you look? Today I had to find a piece of paper I knew had come in the mail about two weeks ago but I had put somewhere "clever" (heaven help us when we put something there). I couldn't find it anywhere. It had disappeared off the face of the earth. So I started rooting through every nook, cranny, bag, pile of paper, etc. in the house. And it dutifully turned up in the last place I looked but the amusing part is that it was literally at the bottom of the very last nook, cranny, bag and pile of paper in the house. The gods get their jollies in hilarious ways.

Well of course it's always in the last place you look because after that you stop looking!
[But I know what you mean].

Yeah, but what amused me today was that it actually was on the bottom of the last possible place to look because I'd been through absolutely everything. Okay, maybe the flooding has me much more easily amused!
