I was out helping a friend look for a lost dog all day on saturday, and so I bought a stick of beef jerky from the corner store in case I needed it to lure the dog, and stuck it in my pocket. I don’t normally keep much in pockets, usually just my phone. I did not check my pockets before doing laundry.

But what really gets me is — now I can’t find the beef jerky! It’s not in there! I checked the pockets of every single pair of skirtpants I had in the wash. I have no idea what could possibly have happened to it because I have zero memory of taking it out and putting it somewhere. So now the question is: WTF happened to the jerky?? Is it hiding somewhere in my house?? Maybe I’ll find out in like 6 months.

(btw, we found the dog!! I wasn’t the one to find her but some strangers managed to get her into a fenced in basketball court and put it on the local facebook forum thing, and another friend was scouring the internet resources. Doggo is safely back at home, only gone for a few hours. We’re all very relieved. Plus I got to bike around in the rain all day in unfamiliar parts of the neighborhood which was genuinely really great)

    I once washed my smartwatch because I put it in my pocket while I bathed a pet. D: Fortunately it was pretty waterproof because it’s intended to be wearable while swimming, and apparently a high-efficiency washing machine isn’t worse than swimming.

    At least it was clean after, I guess…

    Can you borrow the dog and see if it leads you to hidden jerky?

    Saw this in the new posts feed. Totally thought this was going to be about laundering the beef jerky like how money laundering works. Was wondering what dirty beef jerky would be, and how you were going to make it clean. Haha.
