Log Entry #014 - The Port-Side Spindle Crisis:
"...And as noted in Clause 14 of the carriage warranty, when addressing a lateral structural instability, commonly referred to by the uneducated as a 'floppy wheel', the Steward must first identify if the vehicle is positioned on the port or starboard side.

One does not turn clockwise, lest the spindle snap and your soul find its purpose further in the dirt."
