Lost my everyday pen (a JohnU pheasant feather) a couple months ago, so picked out another for everyday use (a red burl modified slim) . Yesterday I lost the replacement. Something told me to check the recliner, because sometimes the pen would fall out of the pocket of my shorts and I'd find it laying in the chair. Did not find the replacement, but poking around in the cushions of the recliner dislodged ..... my OLD everyday pen! :biggrin:

Now, to find the modified slimline...

the recliner likes the pens.... find one you don't particularly like and feed it to the recliner, it will be excited about the new pen and return your modded slim....
 
I always refer to that type of incident as a Bermuda Triangle event. It falls into another dimension, then pops back out. It seems to happpen to me a lot in the shop. Can't remember where I put that parting tool, then the next time I go into the shop it seems to be in plain site. Maybe it's just an age thing?

Along those lines, I remember an old skit from Laugh-In with Arte Johnson's dirty old man character & Ruth Buzzi's spinster Gladys character. Arte sez "Do you believe in the hereafter? Then you know what I'm here after." Whereby she immediately pummels him with her handbag... :rolleyes:
 
I double checked the chair again last night, but found nothing. Came back into the room an hour later, and there was the modded slim laying on the floor under the chair!! :laugh: I wonder now what else is hidden in there?

Well that just proves it: if a recliner eats something, you have to wait until it passes through it's system before you can get it back. Mine has a penchant for loose change. :eek::wink:

your relationship with the chair has now moved into a new phase... the "feeling up" you gave it while searching for the pen has either A) caused the chair to feel a need to give you gifts (and with somewhat limited options, all it had was the pen) or B) the chair has decided to leave and is giving all your stuff back (at least it wasn't in a cardboard box on the stoop).
