Sent to me by a friend. I thought they were humorous.

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.
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.

All great. And then somebody sent me a list of Fagan's "corollaries to Murphy's laws!"
Very good Mark.
One to add to your list.

All modern versions and funny! I had the honor of knowing Mr. Edward Murphy of Murphy’s Law fame, he worked at Hughes Helicopter in Culver City. He was a Failure Mechanics Engineer, he would take helicopter parts and shoot holes in them with a 20mm cannon and then test operate them until they would fail to determine the final failure sequence. He was a nice quiet older gentleman, he even laughed at all the Murphy’s laws.

My personal favorite Murphy's Law states that "The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train."
Somewhere at one point in time there was a book entitled "Murphy's law and other reasons why things go wrong" If you get the chance to get your hands on it, please do so and enjoy.
