4 pounds: found?

Two yearsish ago I made these posters, they were all:

LOST: 4 POUNDS (reward! reward!) LAST SEEN: in the “ass and thigh” region. IF FOUND: Please contact me immediately — these four pounds CAN NOT SURVIVE if fed anything but banana fritters and whole milk. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

I ran off about 150 of them on bright orange paper and Jill and I spent an afternoon blanketing all the neighborhood cafes, laundromats, bus stops, and telephone poles with them. And then I waited, and waited, but not one person answered my ad. Disappointment is like a full-time job sometimes, you know?

But now, after all this time, it appears that someone may have found my little lost pounds after all! Life is funny.
