Paradox or stupid saying?

D

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".

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. \r \r 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! \r

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.

It's punny to me.\r \r 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.
