    Default The Tale of a Moron.

    Our Moron had injured oneself a while ago and had scans done. He carried them with him to various quack appointments. He then decided to put them in a safe place . . . Oh you Moron! Eventually he was told that the scans were required for a minor issue - Arthroscopic surgery on the site. Moron thought, which was his first mistake, that he knew were said scans were. He searched his cave, couldn't find them. A bright idea, they're still at the salt mine. Searches the mine and even rings up a mate to check a wagon for him. Nothing, Nada, zilch. Moron is starting to have sphincter clenching motions. Moron gets home and re-searches his cave, pulls apart some idiot box equipment, moves a mat . . . . there was the safe place . . . . and sitting in the middle were the scans! Moron was ecstatic and relieved. Moral of the story, Moron try to remember were the "Safe place" is!

    I don't even have to put in safe place, I still forget where I put it.

    I am the Moron's first cousin, and I have the genetic makeup to prove it!!!

    Funny story Pat, nonetheless.

    I put the spare key to one of our cars "in a safe place" once.

    Eight months later, I remembered where that was...

    I quite often put things in a safe place and forget where the safe place is and then when I am looking for something else find the safe place but don't find the other thing that I was looking for.

    I have posted this before...

    I thought I would solve the "safe place" issue once and for all.. I got an old shoe box and labled it "A SAFE PLACE"... now I can not find where I put the shoe box!!!
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    Occasionally I stumble on a safe place with stuff in it and wonder what I had in mind when I put THAT away.
