Murphy's Other Laws
Mar 13, 2018 00:59:11 #
1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
3. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
8. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
9. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end someone from California would be stupid enough to try to pass them.
10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.
11. The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
13. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.
14. God gave you toes as a device for finding furniture in the dark. (my favorite)
15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

Good selection.
They do put out a "Murphy's Law" 365 day calendar. I used to have 8th and 9th grade boys (mostly boys) running to get to my history class so they could see the new day's "law". I only let them look ahead on Friday when they could see Saturday and Sunday. I gave my daughter one her second year at UCLA and once word got around her dorm room became a very popular place to visit; "Just to say Hi!" She got more drop ins in a day than her two room mates got in a week or two. Including some of the tech nerds and their friends she met in photo club.

There are two Murphy brothers, Edsel and Arvin. Edsel is responsible for all things mechanical, such as 'The most important component will fall and go to the most inaccessibly point'. His brother Arvin is the electrical guru. He says: "when there is an electrical failure, it will be the most expensive part that is at fault".

My modification of #15, and something I always say to clients: When you go to court only two things can happen, and one of them is bad.
