Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance.

The aisle people are very surly folk.

Yep, had that happen to me a few days ago. Putting on crash bars on my motorcycle after some routine maintenance (this after putting back on the plastic fairing which comes in 7 different parts and is notoriously difficult), a castle nut fell down in the bottom part of the fairing. Had to take that plastic all the way down again (took about an hour) to retrieve that nut, another hour putting it all back together again, and then finish putting on the crash bars. Managed not to drop the castle nut this time.....
