How come...

when you have finished washing up, you can pull the plug out of the sink, walk away, and when you return to the sink 10 mins later, it is still as full as when you left it, just because 3 peas, a piece of cabbage, and a few grains of rice have instantly made an impenetrable seal over the drain hole

But...

if during the process of washing up, you accidentally pull out the plug, the water can run out of the sink, emptying it in less than 10 seconds????

Where are the peas then?

Shoulds we all be carrying 3 peas just in case we get a radiator leak?
