Murphy's Garage Laws (and others)

Since Mr. Murphy seems to stick his nose into everything else, and he's visited me more than once or twice. I found this: Murphy's Garage Law......

I don't need gloves for this. Blood everywhere.

You drop a screw, see it, can't reach it, get magnet, find out is stainless, DARN.
