1. Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat

The cat is both here and not here, while simultaneously being neither here, nor there. The cat cannot be nowhere, yet the cat is not everywhere. However, it may be anywhere, but it can only be somewhere. So, where is it?
"C'mon, just give up, already! You've been looking for that thing for hours! You might as well be looking for Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat!"

"But it has to be here. I've already looked everywhere, and I haven't found it anywhere. Perhaps if I start looking nowhere, I may end up finding it somewhere!"

This is an easy one to anyone who has ever done an account reconciliation which should be ALL of you. :tap:

If it is neither here nor there, it is, most likely in transit. If it doesn't show up here or there in the next 20 business days, it is most likely lost which means, even though it is not here nor there, it could be ANYWHERE else besides here or there.

You're welcome.

Surely you jest ...
I cannot read all of this dizzy thread... but that's neither here nor there.

= doesn't matter/unimportant in the totality of the issue.

I'm surprised you know who Rod Serling was.

Well...I'm older than my younger sister, but younger than my older sister. Loved the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. I wont ask your age either, but I bet we both enjoyed the same tv programs, once we got the rabbit ears right. LOL
