I predict you will never have to buy another tube.
I offer for your consideration, amusement, and comments (with  
corollaries):


Morgan's Law of Inverse Perversity:

If you have no spare for a critical part, that part will fail at the  
most inopportune time.  If you do have a spare, or spares, the  
original one will never fail and you'll never use the spare.

Morgan's Law of Inverse Perversity - Troubleshooting Corollary:

If you have no information on an obscure failure mode,
that failure will happen to you at the most inopportune time.
If you do have complete, detailed information, the system will never  
fail in that way.

Tool Corollary, inspired by Barney:

If a job requires a special tool, and you have one handy, you'll  
almost never need to use it.
If you can't find the tool, and you buy a new one, the old one will  
show up soon.
Then you'll have two.
