Default Missing Bullets???

I purchased a bag of 100 remington fmj 230gr bullets.I have been looking everywhere for them,I have interagatted every one in the house and they all say I dont know where they are.Brandon said I was sitting in the recliner looking at them and then I put them back on the counter.I even went out in the garage and dumped the garbage on the floor and search but to know avail.Ive turned this house upside down.Well I sat thinking about it for awhile and wala I got up and flipped the recliner upside down and the bag of bullets must have fell down through the crack and was laying on the springs.Now I can reload tonight.

That's nothing. I bought 200 rounds of 357 mag when we were back east last year and I can't find them. They are somewhere in a 40ft motorhome.

That is how I keep busy. Put a tool down and it runs away, then spend a hour looking for it. The wife just excepts it as part of my routine....

Do you guys and gals have problems walking through doorways and forgetting where you were going?

There has been clinical studies proving that doorways interfere with your memory. Sure does with me!

Driving down the highway will also cause memory loss! I know, cause I almost always miss my turn!

The refrigerator is usually the place to find missing TV remote cotrols.

The older I get the more I find myself wondering about the Hereafter. I go into a room and wonder "Now, what was I hereafter?"

We go through that around here about every 2 months......except it is always my wife's AMEX card. It always ends up buried in the bottom of one of her purses.
