Here's one for all the budding physicists here. Explain this.
As part of my duties at work, I do the honoraria. That is, the odd jobs around the building. Changing light bulbs, minor modifications. You know the sort of thing. Why is it though, that whenever I'm called to do something in someones bathroom, that whatever tool I'm using ends up in the toilet bowl if I drop it. it doesn't matter where I drop it. It could be the other side of the room. Somehow, by some weird chain reaction of wicked deflections and ricochets, my screw driver will end up in the last place you would like to retrieve it from. And did the last person flush? You got it!

Always make sure the toilet lid is down and that the plug is in the sink (because that is where the screw that is vital to all jobs is going to go).

Damn Murphy.

Getting shoes that match eachother is proving difficult enough. I had an interview a few months ago, with shoes that had one been through a wash cycle (my helpful son had added it in 🙂 ) So I tried to polish it and it kinda was okay but not quiet matching...oh well!
