reminds me of watching 9 year old quaker girls playing hockey.



Although she's not a Quaker, Sue has told me some good stories about
playing field hockey in grade school. The sport got banned after the
last injury.

Well sure, it's ALWAYS after the LAST injury, ain't it?

Wolfgang
they should change that.

It's just like my glasses, I always find them in the last
place I look. I wish that would change to the first place.

Would that then be the last place you looked Ernie? Or would you continue
lookin'?

One of the signs of being either much older than I thought or more
distracted than I noticed, is that I will occasionally find something,
grab it in one hand, or put it on in the case of glasses or hats, and
then go on looking. This has been known to give me a better
indication of where my inventory of miscellaneous items in my home
are, but I do feel awfully damn foolish when I realize what I've done.
So far it's only occasional.

bellowing, dammit, i have lost my putter! where the hell is my putter?
then, to my fellow players great delight, someone says--it's in your hand,
you damned fool!
i don't know how many times--i just wish it were a helluva lot fewer.

On my last final exam of my undergraduate career, taking the hardest exam of
my undergraduate career (structural geology with the infamous "Dr. B" who
never gave an A), I had to make a diagram with lots of calculations and
lines. My roommate and I were both odds-on favorites to break his long
record, and we were working frantically through the test to do a great job.
On the last problem, with time running out, I drew some initial lines, did
some calculations, then looked around in vain for my ruler to complete my
drawing. Dr. B was saying "OK, bring up your exams" and my damn ruler was
nowhere to be found. I felt behind my ears, looked under my chair, under my
thigh, under my paper, all in desperation. Finally, I just used the edge of
a spare pencil I had to make the best line I could in the situation, walked
up (looking back over my shoulder at my seat in absolute wonder and
confusion), and passed in my test to Dr. B, saying (say this out loud)
"Thorry ith tho methy, I theem to have juth loth my luler."

He got a total kick out of it, having witnessed the entire process.

Some would call this a senior moment - I prefer to think of it as an
intellectual overload!

Where is it written that one must give up the search once an item is
found? Turning a focussed search into a full on rummage is marvellous
for fly tiers.

This has been known to give me a better
indication of where my inventory of miscellaneous items in my home
are, but I do feel awfully damn foolish when I realize what I've done.

mmmmmmmmm ... rummage.

I've found you don't really have to have been on the 'rum' before you
rummage, although it helps produce an unusually focussed blindness that
renders a rummager almost incapable of seeing the oject d'rummage. This
is especially so in the intense search that is often the precursor to
the more relaxed form of the rummage proper. Rum probably just enhances
a predisposition to rummage. The best part is you can rummage just
about anywhere too, though its a good idea to get permission before you
rummage about in someone else's fishing vest, pockets etc.
