Bilge's Law: Any tool, nut, bolt or screw, when dropped, will roll to the deepest and least accessible part of the bilge.
Law of Belowdecks Repair: As soon as your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee. The possibility of this occurring is greatest when you are trapped in the engine room.
Law of Biomechanics: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
Law of Docking: The probability of being watched as you completely screw up a landing is directly proportional to how bad your docking is. A corollary to this law states that the worse the docking disaster, the more people will be watching. The inverse of this law dictates that no perfect docking shall ever have anyone in attendance to prove you actually did it.
