I will always remember a coffee spill into the "well" at the back of the 737-200 centre pedestal. It was a VHHH to ZGGG sector on only my second trip after getting my command. On descent I had blindly reached for the PA handset just as the FA was unknowingly passing me a coffee which was not ordered or expected on a 20 minute flight. Anyway the cup's contents went down between the 3 fire handles and disappeared followed by the APU fire warning almost immediately and then ENG 1 and eventually ENG 2 were on all at once. Strangely the QRH didn't cover this event. Fortunately we landed a few minutes later with the warnings now cycling on and off every 30 seconds or so.
