True story this made me think of: about a hundred and fifty years ago at work, a friend insisted that his checkbook had been stolen. (The fact that he carried around a checkbook tells you how old the story is.) An extra-large stink was made and an investigation was had, a big deal, since we worked in a district attorney's office and real life felons were in and out of the office. Anyhoo, something like two years later this same guy wears a jacket fresh from the dry cleaners and discovers said missing checkbook which had wormed its way through the lining of the jacket pocket to the back of the jacket.

Ha! That’s the perfect story for this post. (And told in your always entertaining, side-commenting, voice!)
