[I'm goin' down]

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Or, Johnsons corollary to Murphy's Law:
The odds of the buttered side of the toast landing face down on the carpet increase in direct proportion to the cost of the rug.

Or, as Pecos Bill would say, "In plain English, You try and ride Widowmaker (his horse), and he will kill you." [Quote from the movie Tall Tales from the character Pecos Bill, played well by the late Patrick Swazye.]

I got lucky. Real lucky.
