Typical politician...







Politician was visiting a remote little rural town and asked the locals what the government could do for them.
"We have two big needs,” said the towns people.
“First, we have a hospital but no doctor.”
The politician whipped out his mobile phone, spoke for a while and then said,
“I have sorted that out. A doctor will arrive here tomorrow. What is your other need?”
The towns people replied,
“We have no mobile phone reception in our town…..

Why do women insist on messing with a hereditary male memory simulator, then complain when we seem to have memory problems?
For generations men have just dropped what ever it was they were using where they used it last, this stimulated the man's memory to trace back to the last place he used it ...... then the women come along, move it to some where they consider it should be but don't have a clue just what it would be called if the man asked if she had seen it because it isn't where you left it? Inevitably the escape clause is "Well, if you put it away you would know where it was" ...... but he did know where it was because he had done the trace back ...... The old line "well, where did you last have it?" and replies "on the bench you decided to tidy" always reverts to the standard escape clause as above ......

Sounds a bit like, you are a glutton for punishment if you pursue this argument. You are doomed to be damned if you do and damned if you don't. You possibly need to tell your employer to stop trying to help by cleaning up. Unless of course, you asked for help.

I reckon you might be right Peter.

Now that would be asking for a fight I couldn't possibly win The latest attempt at training the "tidier", can you identify what you just picked up so you can get it back when asked, Yes/No if yes, then if you insist on moving it some place else, don't complain when you have to come out and retrieve it from its new hiding spot ..... if you can not identify the object, replace it just where you found it ...... That sort of worked for a while, then became another box filled with bits that couldn't be identified .... but they had to be moved because that is just part of the DNA
The funny bit is, "Do you know what this bit is?" when I reply just what it is and where it was and to put it back, "How do you know what all these bits are?" never a comment on me knowing where she had picked it up and where to put it back, but at least some of the bits that I haven't seen for mths resurface as a box of untitled items gets sorted ......
The statement "you spend so much time looking for things and that is why I tidy up" only leads to another fight I can't win if I reply that I'm spending hrs looking for bits because you "tidied up"

Ran a test last night, mentioned I found my phone by using the male memory exercise of back tracking to find where I had i last .... not a bite, so either she is saving it up or hasn't read this thread
