I've always wondered, since you have to tip the filter on its "side" to screw it on, how do you keep the oil from dribbling out while you're trying to get the filter installed?

Yeah, much too much trouble for me. I'm sure, that if this was something to be concerned with, my Uncle would have taught me the technique when I was working with him at the service station in my teens. I got to do the good ol' simple stuff (oil changes, tire changes/ rotations, battery checks/replacements, diff checks, etc). He was adamant about lubing the gasket, but, never said anything (nor did he do it when he changed filters) about pre-filling the filter.
