Lost and Found

Millions of people claim to have found him.

Millions more are asking, ‘Have you found him?’

You have to wonder what’s wrong with this guy, why he keeps getting lost over and over.  I’m guessing he’s illiterate, can’t read a map or road signs.  In fact, he’s most likely developmentally challenged in some way or he’d have picked up on the basics long since – like the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west.

You also have to wonder what’s wrong with all those folks who claim to have found him.  Why the hell did they let him get away?  They knew darn well he’d wander off and get lost again.  How stupid can you be?

But: we shouldn’t rule out another possibility.  Could be, he’s not really lost at all.  Could be, he’s extremely clever and sneaky, slips away at the first opportunity, goes and hides somewhere, and waits to be found again.  Yeah, I’m thinking that’s a more realistic scenario.  He’s just doing his thing, just playing a game that he obviously enjoys very much.

If that’s what’s really going on, you have to wonder why those millions of people haven’t caught on.  You’d think the dime would have dropped long since.  It’s okay though.  The people seem quite pleased making their ‘I Found’ claims and posing their ‘Have You Found’ questions.  It makes them happy and that’s a good thing.
