Okay, this objection always bugged me. It’s not saying the tautology “the final place I looked is where it was.” It’s saying “out of all the locations I chose to search, it was in the one at the bottom of the list.” I.E. The last POTENTIAL place to look. At least that’s what I mean when I say it.
If things always are in the last place you look, why don’t people just *look there first? *Doh.

Yeah, with that and a quarter you can buy a cup of coffee. (an admittedly obsolete inanity)
“How are you today?”
“Well I’m alright, I can’t complain.”
“Yeah, you know it wouldn’t do you any good anyway!” (followed by big guffaws of laughter)
Ugh. Yet another example of how smalltalk makes me want to put a bullet in my skull sometimes. 
This conversation reminds me of non-duality. In this view there is no distinction between this and that, subject and object. There is only subject. So a thing literally is what it ain’t. And that’s why I say:
Do what you cannot.
How?
Just do it.
New Normal sucks, because if it didn’t, I wouldn’t be saying it did.
Sign on Huey’s Department Store, long ago in Urbana Illinois: “This is the place cuz there’s no other place jes’ like it!”
“There’s more than the eye can see here.”
