Another sure bet, if I'm working on a project where the bench and the worksite are seperated by any distance, is the "Take measurement. Carry tape to bench, measure & cut material. Absentmindedly leave tape on bench, walk back to worksite. I need the tape, where the hell is it? Oh yeah *slap forehead*" gag. Substitute pencil, saw, drill, hammer, socket wrench, or any other common tool you can think of. Maybe my dad was right- maybe I am a dumbass.
