The Last Place You Look

It took me until the age of 25 to actually stop and think about the expression "it's always in the last place you look" when you are trying to find something. I suddenly realized, in a euphoric moment, that it was true, it really always is in the last place you look beacuse once you have found it you don't keep looking any more. Then, it took me another 2 years to realize that is the whole point of the expression, and that all along it was a grand joke that everyone in the English speaking world had been in on but me. But I'll have the last laugh. I'm going to hide it where none of you will ever find it.
