Ooh! Ooh! New idea. Did you use them to sop up that annoying leak behind the toilet that you keep meaning to fix? (What? No, I don’t get a lot of people asking to use my bathroom, or to borrow my jeans, either. Why do you ask?) ---

Nope, not in the bed, nor in the vicinity of the sofa. And the annoying leak is in the overflow from the boiler, so I doubt I could’ve fitted them in there if I’d tried! As for cameras, I’ve _no_ idea - maybe it’s eloped with my jeans? ---

Right, so somewhere the camera, the black belt, a pair of skeevy jeans (by now anyway), some socks and my white sports bra are partying like it’s 1999. Oh, and they’re dancing to my Vince Gueraldi as played by George Winston cd, the bastids. ---

Did you check the ceiling fan? That’s where I usually find my bra after a night of debauchery. ---

Ceiling fan? Night of debauchery? What are these things you speak of? (Ha, if I had a ceiling fan, it’d be dangerous - as it is I could jump and hit my head on the ceiling.) ---

They’re probably right out in the open, right under your nose and you’re just brain farting and overlooking them. At least, that’s how such things usually end for me. I joke that my blind spot is “right under my nose” because of several instances where that happened. Me: Where’s my book?! Mr. Clawbane: You mean this one right here in front of you? Me: Yeah, that one in my blind spot, thanks. ---

You may have to bring in a woman. Any one of us could immediately find your jeans – right where you left them, you pitiful male. :rolleyes: ---
