I have an inexplicable pile of about 14 various sizes of small screws in one of my jacket pockets and I have absolutely no idea how they got in there. I wear this jacket all of the time, and on Saturday reached in the pocket and suddenly found all of these damned screws living in there. One of them is broken in half.

?

Beats me. I foresee one of two things happening as a result of this:

1) I am going to lift something relatively large and heavy up at home, something that was once held together by these screws, and it will fall apart.

2) Same as above, but it will happen to you instead. If it does, that means I have some sort of sleep walking screw removal disorder. And I also have your screws. My apologies if so.

If you're lifting something heavy over the next few weeks that is held together by screws, I'd give it a good jiggle first just to play it on the safe side. If it falls apart, send me a note and I'll get the screws back to you ASAP.
