- leeoniya 4y agothe actual saying is "last place you think to look" or "last place you expect" (because it's so obvious / uninteresting). but that doesnt make a joke.
- brookst 4y agoYou can fix this by continuing to look after you’ve found something. “Phew, glad my keys were in the first place I looked, and not the next ten”
