If I'm stuck at my girlfriend's house, I wouldn't worry about how wide my leaf springs are.....

It seems like the length or the angle would be more important to her.

Have you ever noticed how everything is in the wrong place?
Have you ever noticed that you always find things in the last place you look? lol

Yeah, that happens to me a lot. But I don't stop looking when I find something because I don't want to stop too fast. Just begin to taper off.

I was gonna say that most people find things in the last place they look because once they find something they stop looking. Guess you're the reason we have to say "most" people instead of "all." lol
