I am minded of the T shirt which arrived just as I was speeding on my way out to work, knowing that my cat has a habit of chewing such things I just shoved it in the first place I thought of that she couldn't reach - draped over the top of a floor standing lamp.
That evening I came home in the dark, switched on the lamp as I passed through the living room and went into the kitchen, it wasn't until the smell of burning T Shirt suffused the air that I remembered what I had done.
I'd also promised it to someone at work so I had to explain the next day that I had decided to set it on fire instead... :rotfl:
