    I had to spend a bit of time looking for all the Roller String-Saddles for the Bridge that I'll be installing on the Headless Guitar, I must learn not to separate important parts from where they belong, otherwise I end up spending lots of time searching for them, also, I must learn not to keep clumsily dropping said important parts, etc, on the floor cause it just makes me lose my temper, and I really don't want to do that, cause I hate losing my temper needlessly, I'm sure you can relate to that.
    Yes, like when you've gathered together all of the little fiddly parts for a mechanism and you pop them on the counter while you just flick some dust off the counter and then WHOOPSIE!
    You accidentally knock said fiddly bits on to the floor, where some of them stop dead and others ricochet off into the distance.
    Under the workbench.
    Behind the wood stack.
    Swooped on and carried off by the Cat that you could have sworn blind was fast asleep on the rug.
    Helpfully bury themselves in the predictably large pile of swept up wood shavings I hadn't yet dust panned into the bin.
    Across ten feet of concrete slab, missing every potential restraining or diverting obstacle to drop cleanly through the relatively small apertures of the floor drain grate.

    Relate? Why yes, I think I can.

    Even worse is when you're handling delicate parts, and you feel that irresistible urge to sneeze, and then after you've sneezed at least several times in a row, you realize that you dropped the delicate part, and you have to go search for it, you eventually discover it in a pile of dust....which makes you sneeze a few more times.

    There's definitely a correlation between the delicacy of the part being handled and the ferocity and repetition of the sneeze.

    Yep, the ferocity, and repetition of the sneeze tends to be inversely-proportional to the object's delicate-ness, also, an object's lose-ability is directly proportional to it's importance, or in other words, an object's visibility is inversely-proportional to it's importance, that's something I have found to be so true.

    Another theorem states that the distance that an object will travel, when dropped, will increase exponentially in proportion to the object's importance, and how much it is needed.
