Both are hilarious. As for the second one, recall the old screw in type house fuses? People in the past have been known to stick a penny in the socket and screw the blown fuse back in to hold it there. Yes....there were a few fires.
True story and telling on myself; A couple years back while working on the GL1200 project, I dropped the 10mm socket I was using and heard it go rolling away. Down on my knees, I looked under my rolling tool chest, all around the bench, scoured the entire garage. Gave up looking, thinking it will turn up in some other dimension where single socks often seem to go so went and bought a new one. I have one of those small SS dishes with a magnet on the bottom, it's for holding small items so they don't get lost while you're working on your current project. I have a couple small stools from Harbor Frt. and they have a tray built into the bottom of it where I keep that small dish. It was at least a year later when I picked up the stool I had been using the day the 10mm disappeared so as to replace the casters. When I turned it over on the workbench, the magnetic dish still clinging to the tray, albeit upside down, there to my wondering eyes was my long lost 10mm socket....stuck magnetically to the bottom of the stool tray, compliments of the SS dish. I now have three 10mm sockets, ready and waiting to be lost.
