Or, more accurately, if you were a complete moron like I am, where would you have stashed said pole to keep it away from the kids?
I have a tapestry to hang in my living room. It has a decorative metal pole from which to hang it. I have had the tapestry a while but only just yesterday decided to hang it up. I started getting prepared.....and realized I have no frigging idea where the pole went.
I do remember that JZ was playing with it a while back. It is pretty heavy and solid metal so I took it away from him and put it.....somewhere. Now I can't find it. I have looked in both hallway closets, under all the furniture, behind all the furniture, in the sunroom and in my bedroom closet. I am now out of places to look and it hasn't turned up yet. All that remains is one of the finials that screws on the end of it, which is sitting on my mantle, looking forlorn.
Seriously, how can you lose a four-foot long metal pole???
Oh yes, and if anyone finds my short-term memory? I'd really appreciate having it back. Thanks.

Interesting. I have a couple of possible theories.
1) you put a wig,some clothes and lipstick on it, it's sitting in a chair in the living room, disguised as your Aunt Linda. That's why you keep passing by the pole. You think she's just been asleep all this time
2) you melted the pole down and sold the melted, liquified and then cooled metal for...pennies on the open worthless metal market
3) In a fit of anger towards someone who deserved it, you stuck that pole where the sun don't shine
4) When you weren't paying attention, the pole became sentient, complete with feelings and awareness, rolled out of the house to the nearest choo choo and hopped on board with the ultimate destination being a return to it's native country of:
I can't say it. It's TOO corny. YOU figure it out. WHERE would a pole originate from?

I don't have kids and I still can't find anything. Have you tried: Back of the closets? Under the beds? Attic?
Good luck!
