When friends ask me if I've seen the remote, my usual response is, "Did you look up your butt?"
That advice has yet to prove useful.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That is the standard question in our house too tommyrot. While the "up" part has not been correct, we do have a family with dead butt syndrome. No "princess and the pea" in this house.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Once again, Steph is me. I have three pairs of glasses just in case the regular pair... I don't know, explodes or something. Along with my contacts. Civilization could collapse, and I'd need them. My visual field is about six inches. I'd never survive in the wild.

I only have one pair of glasses, but I can see fine without them - I just get migraines and eventual eye strain if I go to long without. Shoot, most weekends I forget to put them on.
I bet these were not JZ's only pair - just a favorite pair.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
They won't let me link to it, but there's a post on this board where a remote control was indeed found "up someone's butt". An incredibly obese man who'd lost his remote and it was found somewhere amongst the voluminous folds near the fundament of his 400+ lb. frame.

Wait. A *year*? How does a person lose glasses for a YEAR?
She's been squinting a lot and making me nervous while she drives.
But you have to basically make her wear a velcro suit and stick things on to her body to keep her from losing them. She's like the most absent minded professor parody you've ever seen.

How much did you bet? Her only pair. But these were really the first pair of glasses she needed on a regular basis. But she's been wearing them since I found them, getting a whole new world of nuance out of Steven Colbert, I'm sure.

Luckily it was a "in concept" bet only....
Hey, you never answered my autograph question. Should I try for a personalized autograph, or just a regular one?

I lost my glasses recently (they're somewhere in my apartment). I'm wearing the pair I got 15 years ago - I last had new lenses put in them over ten years ago. But my prescription has not changed one bit since then, so they work fine. They're just heavier as they have glass lenses.

I confess, I don't get this, in anyone. Because I never lose stuff like my glasses/keys/etc. -- I'm kind of control-freaky about it.
But it's been pointed out to me that being a control freak doesn't make be a better person than the absent-minded. (Not that I ever thought it did; just -- others have felt compelled to make *sure* I knew it.)
