Where's the corn??
This is a true story. A few years back, we had a barbeque at our house. One of the food items was corn on the cob that our neighbor had brought. After the que there were 5 ears of corn left that my wife proceeded to put in the freezer that we had in the shop. The shop doors are rarely locked.
A few weeks later, the wife decides to fix some of the corn but, the corn was gone! Hmmmmmm, where could it be? She was really upset about it and I tried to calm her down. 5 ears, what's that, $2 worth? That's not the point she said, someone came into the shop and took the corn without asking. She stated that she felt as if she'd been raped!
Well now, let's put this into perspective, I said. Let's say you WERE raped. Now you're in the hospital and a very concerned care giver asks you how you feel. Your response is going to be that you feel like someone just stole 5 ears of corn from you?
