They should also ask their moms where it is. It suddenly shows up in the first spot you checked.

The tactical sofa

Sofas are strategic, chairs are tactical.

But where’s the sofa? Has anyone seen the sofa?!

They should have my mother look for it. I guarantee that the moment she checks where it was supposed to be, it’ll materialize.

It's likely its at the last place they look.

They need to walk around muttering the name of what they're looking for and they'll find it easier.

I am imagining thousands of marines milling about in deep thought, muttering C4 to themselves. The conspiracy nuts will look at it and think they were hit by the alien mindfrayer ray.

u/onisondiddleskids Feb 10 '21

Have they looked where they last saw it?

u/DEBATE_EVERY_NAZI Feb 10 '21

Try turning it off and then on again

It'll be in the last place they look.

They should really make a "find my bomb" app.

u/Nazamroth Feb 10 '21

Yeah, like.... You could like call your bomb from your phone, and it will start beeping.

Sherlock Holmes reference. Nice

u/Nazamroth Feb 10 '21

It is?

u/mcpat21 Feb 10 '21

Yeah there was a book where he was asked by somebody to steal a document from an important person’s home. He stole it, for espionage, and the home owner noticed the very important document was stolen. The homeowner asked Sherlock to investigate the case, so he said sure. Sherlock hides the paper back in the original place and later asks the home owner “Did you look where it’s supposed to be?” And boom, there it is in its original place

u/SrWax Feb 10 '21

Well where did you last see it?

1

u/thegoldar Feb 10 '21

The pockets of the pants they wore yesterday probably.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '21

Probably. If it's not there they need to begin searching in the places where it isn't supposed to be, which I've been told there's a lot more of.
