One thing that I have been known to do is to use my Columbo Phile book as a dictionary. It doesn't have to be Columbo related...it just may be a word that I know is in there and I can check the spelling.
...you check all your pockets to find something when you are out in public..
...you keep your copy of your columbo phile book at your side at all times....and you have even photographed your dog with it (i have..and i have a great picture of it..but i sadly don't know how to post it here.. ) (welshdragon? you out there?? )
...you have started to have a craving for hard boiled eggs for breakfast
