Yes. When you come in to the house, and then realise you've left
something in the car and you go for your keys and can't remember where
you put them only two minutes ago.

Thank you, Eric! I was looking for my own long-lost URL and couldn't
retrieve it. I have only ever seen the top part of this, so it was
especially enjoyable to get the added bonus of the bottom.

Or when you get to the car in said situation and forget what you'd
forgotten in the car. Point taken.

I thought it was a perfectly good switcheroo to see if anyone noticed...
I might even go so far as to call it 'irony', but others might object at
the misuse of the term.

According to my dictionary, "ut (n) : In medieval music, the first note in
Guido d’Arezzo’s hexachords".
Ut (n) : in modern usenet, the first typo in Graybag's post[1].

LM = Larkin Manoeuvre [1].
[1] LM: "Whats a Larkin Manouevre?" It's like this, anticipating a likely
response and answering it within the same post and it takes its name from
the esteemed John Larkin, a regular at the Apihna Arms, the virtual
hostelry in which this newsgroup meets. All this and more is detailed in
our Off-Topic FAQ, which can be viewed and - even more excitingly - read at

From Utah to Ohio, presumably. Sort of eastward, more or less. But

Not me; I put my lithium back. I didn't feel right about taking something
that wasn't mine in the first place.
