The most usual way this happens is, after we put something
somewhere, the wife will move it elsewhere. Our minds know
perfectly well where we put it and, when it's no longer there,
we look for logical places for it to be. Right then we are
doomed because what's logical to us is not logical to a woman
(and vice versa). So, though it is in "plain sight" from a
woman's point of view, it is invisible to us right up to the
instant she retrieves it, in a condescending way, of course,
from the completely illogical place she put it. The mean wives
will then try to convince you that that was where you put it but
don't you believe it for a moment.
