After last night's graduation party, there was much cake left over. Ultimately, it was determined that I should take it to work today and make it available in the pantry for anyone who would like a piece.

Except that I nearly forgot about it. The cake was safely stored in the trunk of my car, the flattest surface available, but out of sight, out of mind: I only just remembered it was there. Fortunately, something sparked a memory about and we had paper plates & plastic forks on hand so now the cake is being whittled down to nothing in the pantry as I type this.

It would have been rather ugly to rediscover the cake in the car in, say, two weeks or so.

I recall reading an article machine translation many years ago that mentioned an attempt to translate several idioms and proverbs. "Out of sight, out of mind" came out as "invisible idiot".
