    Seen on X:

    You have 5 minutes to hide a paperclip in your home; a detective has 24 hours to find it.

    If they don't find it, you get $10,000. Where are you going to hide the paperclip?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I suppose sticking it in a random spot in the fiberglass insulation in the attic would turn it into the proverbial needle in a haystack.

          Or I would jam it into an electrical outlet - they'd never find it there.

            Take a small appliance apart, hide it inside and put it back together. Either that or the dirty laundry.

            All of which will be for naught since he’s a detective and will bring his own clip to plant it.

              Swallow it.

                Mik is not new to the game. I was thinking "mark mine" as well.

                I'd go with straightening it and pushing it into a corner of upholstery so it joins the stuffing.

                Please love yourself.

                  Put it in one of several English Xmas short bread tins containing 40 plus years of acquired and unassorted nuts, bolts, washers and other metal do-dads in the garage.

                    First thought was to shove it midway through a roll of toilet paper.
