Never had your soldering iron roll off the bench and then tried to catch it, hmm? Inevitably, you catch the wrong end...

/but you only do so once... //wearing shorts during the episode can make it double the fun!

Dunno about you, but I stopped wearing shorts while soldering after the first time a large-ish ball sputtered off onto my knee.

It can make cool-looking stains on pants, but it's hard to get off cleanly without tearing the fabric.
