This is actually a paraphrasing of O'Shaughnessey's corollary to Murphy's 
Law, which states that at any time the most desired object will always find 
itself in the most difficult to reach place, thus requiring laborious search 
and unpacking. I have found this to be universally applicable to any areas of 
stowage, be it a day hatch, a backpack, the food bag (ever try to find just 
the coffee and a simple beakfast first thing in the morning?) etc......
