Back in the days my father and I weren't satisfied with our tinkering until
we had a screw left over.  We have been know to disassemble entire
carburetors and put them back together until the desired "screw-over" effect
is achieved.  Now I just take my car to Goober-Lube and I get screwed over
with out all the sweat and knuckle busting.

We are all aware of the missing sock theory - the dryer eats them, but what
about the extra screw syndrome?  Every time I take my van in to have some
work done, it never fails that I find an extra screw/bolt or two lying
around the engine compartment when I get home.  How many times can I take
Gypsy in to get work done before there's nothing left holding her together
and I find her splayed out flat in my driveway one morning?
