Trying to find a movie on Netflix: Me: You don't watch horror movies, do you? Laura: No. Life is a horror movie. We're surrounded by horror every day. Just turn on the news to see horror. It's all over the place. If you don't see horror, you're not paying attention. Me: Okay. Just checking.

I was just looking for that!..."  On the way out the door, I asked Laura if she had any spare cash for reward money, and I jumped in my car to meet this guy, 11 minutes away. Turns out that he's a young man working on a road repair crew filling cracks at a bank parking lot. I got my wallet back and gratefully handed him a twenty. "Where did you find my wallet?" He and his tar-stained buddies found it about a mile away in the middle of Hwy 31. "What? Really! In the middle of the highway!..." On
