Paradox or stupid saying?

I was in a panic earlier this afternoon.  As I was completing a career self assessment, I was unable to find a letter of recognition that the CEO of our business had written to me last year.  I recalled the saying "It's always in the last place you look".

Well no shit.  I mean, when I find it, I'm going to stop looking.  So naturally, the last place I look -- even if it's the first place I look -- will be where I find the thing I'm looking for.

So tell me -- is this a paradox or just a stupid saying?  I'm thinking "stupid saying".  Anybody got any other self-evident stupid sayings?  Oh, and let me qualify by saying that anything Yogi Berra has said doesn't count, such as "it ain't over 'til it's over".

It's punny to me. I'm with Baine trying to break the S/T continuum.

My favorite is "I could care less". I mean how much less could you care? The proper phrase is "I couldn't care less" since it indicates that you have reached the bottom limit of caring.

I think it's supposed to be the last place you'd think of looking for it...or something like that.

I continue to look for things even after I find them. I am hoping to break the space time continum that way.

When someone tells me the food is hot I tell them "really it's hot I thought it just came out of the freezer."

My boss says that stupid, "last place ya look" thing about 40 times a week. Drives me nuts. The one I hear a lot that always bugs me it "Let me be honest here" . It makes me think that they were lying to me before that!

I remember reading something about a witness in a trial who said 'i'm going to be honest for a minute' and they threw out the rest of his testimony. I doubt it's true but it sure is funny.
