Inertia, is indeed a very powerful thing
You should have seen the 'inertia' when the missus was drying the kids laundry and the tumble dryer burst into flames, vaulted out the kitchen window, hurdled half way down the street, smashed through two garden fences, broke through Mrs. Johnson's massive bush (it's still there, I checked [well, what's left of it]), and inserted itself in the neighbours garden shed, where, as bad timing would have it, they were filming an impromptu amateur porn flick, titled 'Mrs. Johnson's manky plot'.
Now, that is inertia.
But I take your point, none the less.
