"A device that you're repairing will operate **absolutely perfectly** while you have it taken apart to work on it, but then when you get it all put back together and have all the cabinet-screws re-inserted, THAT'S when the device will decide not to work again."
To lessen the chance of getting "bitten" by Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly, one should double-check everything on a refurbished device before putting it back together again.

Our new kitten loves to lie in wait and then pounce on any unsuspecting family-member who walks by; we've clipped his claws and so he never actually harms us, but it still gives everyone mild sprangxiety due to our never knowing what hiding-place he's gonna unexpectedly rocket out from next.

If da Obi-chon Hardware chain had stocked spare spaceship parts, maybe da Reisistance members wouldn't have had to stop for replacement parts at da shady salvage yard.

An amplified speaking-device dat someone uses to solicit charity from anyone in da general vicinity.
I always try to help others who are truly in need, but if someone requesting help is assailing everyone's eardrums by hollering into a begaphone, dat would definitely be a turn-off for me.

I wonder if da the some lunatick who came up with the "weather-rock-on-a-string" (if the rock's wet, it's raining; if it's white, it's snowing; if it's swinging, it's windy, etc.) invented the stupid "moon-phases" dial on fancy large clocks... who needs to know what phase of the moon it is, and why would you even need a *clock* to tell you that info, anyway??? Just look outta da 0%!$@#& WINDOW to see if da moon is visible out there or not!
