I forgot my palm pilot in a casino.
Everyone said it was gone for good. Next morning I get to the seminar,there are 800 people. The guy on the stage quiets everybody down and goes "Did some named Swede lose a palm pilot? Come up and get it." I go so stage "who turned it in?' "I don't know,someone just handed it to me." Thank you good samaritan.

1. I'm so glad you got it back!
When I was in sales long ago, I once left my planner, a.k.a. my brain, at a client's office when I was on the road. I couldn't remember where. But he called and mailed it to me. I know how relieved you felt!

2. My dear Swede!
Wow, someone was really a good Samaritan!

And how lucky for you...

When I saw your thread title, my heart sank...

That was a very lucky break!

4. And then everyone laughed at you for losing your palm pilot. Ha ha.
No, seriously there are people who actually do the right thing. The real right thing.
Wait, what king of seminar does one go to in a casino? Wait wait, I don't want to know.
Ha ha.
Sometimes I think I am the only person who does things like that (turn in a lost item, and be sure somehow it gets to the rightful owner.)
But once in a while I see others do it. I always try to remain anonymous on it. I don't do it for a thanks, or a reward, or any such thing, but just because it's the right thing to do. The thing everybody should do.

5. I left my cell phone in a casino once. Called the security desk later
and found out someone had turned it in.

There ARE good people in the world, Swede. Glad one of them found your pilot!

7. Palm pilot? That's an electric calender, isn't it?
Why would you need one in a casino? Just wondering. :shrug:

I left my blender at the library. I left my golf clubs at the bowling alley.
