Oh, yeah.

My "weird ritual" around the house is that I'll take all of the key caps off
a newly-acquired machine and have them soaking in the kitchen sink.

Then I'll take out a cereal bowl or two and put the key caps in those to air
dry a bit.

Timing is important, because if someone else actually wants to use the
sink.... ;-)
