OK, ask anybody if they have ever lost a pair of sunglasses. I think everybody will say they have...in fact that they have lost many pairs of sunglasses over their lifetime.

So, consider this with all those lost pairs of sunglasses that are out there because millions of people have lost sunglasses, probably hundreds of millions of people, and most of them have lost several pairs of sunglasses...we should be tripping over sunglasses all over the place.

There should be hundreds of millions of pairs of sunglasses lying around everywhere. So, even if you lose yours there should be another pair right there that you could pick up and use...but there's not.

So, where have all these lost sunglasses gone? I mean where are they?

Is it a conspiracy? Are they all in the same place? Is there one guy out there that wanders around picking up lost sunglasses and he has them all? Is there a government agency that has a giant warehouse where they have everybody's lost sunglasses? I mean I think I've actually lost at least 30 pairs of sunglasses in my life. If everybody has lost sunglasses that many times in their life that's a giant number of missing sunglasses.

Here's a theory...the sunglass industry has developed some secret technology that causes your sunglasses to literally disintegrate when you are not looking after a certain period of time...this would at least explain why we can't find all of those missing glasses.

Thoughts? Anyone?

I am more concerned where my second sock is all the time.

Well, everybody knows there is a sock monster that eats socks and to irritate you won't eat them in pairs he just does singles.

I remember a scifi story some time ago where they determined that coat hangers mated and laid safety pins - the safety pins hatched and became coat hangers. That's why you always have a lot of coat hangers but can never find a safety pin. Perhaps you should see what you have a lot of - they might have been sunglasses... Just sayin"

Funny that this Corey Hart song was also playing on my iPod at the exact time I clicked on this thread.

I thought I'd lost my sunglasses once... after looking all over the house I discovered they were in my hand...

This is fairly suspicious...are you sure they did not suddenly reappear in your hand?

No, I'm not. But I do know they changed hands several times during the search.

As the old adage goes, "One person's loss is another person's gain".

In my circumstance, my sunglasses were stolen. At a wedding reception no less.

I've lost so many pairs of expensive sunglasses I was motivated to develop a new rule. Nowadays my "driving" sunglasses never leave the car, even when I do. Likewise my "around the house" sunglasses live in the garage and are necessarily cheap. I have a pair assigned to my wife's car and another assigned to my travel bag. Over the years I found the common problem was ME. If I know they cannot leave their assigned location I'm much less likely to lose them... Theoretically...
