Found on another forum. I thought it was funny. It was either here, or the nef thread, and this on was higher...

Conspiracy? Or do we live next to a worm hole, where socks and gloves get sucked in, one at a time.

It's not just gloves. It's phillips screwdrivers, too. Also #10 black ink pens, bottle openers, rolls of electrical tape, cigarette lighters, small c-clamps, funnels, and that little L-shaped thingy that tightens the camlocks on tire chains.

Some of that stuff doesn't actually disappear, instead it migrates in and out of our lives. I either have five screwdrivers...or none. The ink pens get eaten by my crummy, or find little hiding places around the house until they slowly begin to filter back in. Suddenly I have a whole pickle jar full of pens, most of which have dried up over the course of the summer and don't work anymore. Maybe if I keep them in the jar long enough the'll lure the scotchtape dispenser, the hand held calculator, and the large manila envelopes into joining them on my desk...where they should all be to begin with.


Today there was no electrical tape. Anywhere. I take that back...electrical tape with just enough on the roll to almost finish whatever I'm working on showed up just often enough to tease me. I put them on the special shelf with cans of WD-40 that have just a bit too much left in them to throw away...but not enough to do any real good. I carry a full can in each vehicle. I think they get out at rest stops and wander off.

Last winter I performed a major neatness on my shop. I found seven 9/16 wrenches. Nobody needs that many 9/16 wrenches which is a good thing because by now I'm back down to two of them.

And the L-shaped camlock tighteners? This last Spring when we finally put the tire chains away I had eight of them, all painted bright red with a hole drilled in the end for a belt lanyard so I absolutely couldn't lose one. Find one now, I dare you.They're probably vacationing in Barbados with the phillips screw drivers and full rolls of electrical tape. Hope they make it back before winter.
