Murphy's other Laws

[Feuer Frei!]

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Those who live by the sword, get shot by those who don't.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

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.

If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog.

If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first.

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.

Flashlight: A metal tube used to store dead batteries.

The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

When you go to court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

It's amazing how often this proves to be the case...

It's almost as if there's some undiscovered universal constant that predisposes random probability toward error!

I do at the moment, packed to the gills with anti-biotics. Dam viral infection.

At least someone thinks so, () thank you sir.

I own four separate books full of Murphy's Law variations. It's a fun game to play.

Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.
Addendum: And at the worst possible time.

Corollary: If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.
Proof: Murphy's Law says that if you wash your car it will rain. The Corollary says that if you wash your car to make it rain, it won't work.

Murphy's Laws for the grocery store:
1. The line you are in is always the slowest.
2. Switching lines will make the one you entered slow down and the one you left speed up.
3. Switching back will make both lines stop and everyone mad at you.

The purpose of the Design Engineer is to make things difficult for the Assembler and impossible for the Repairman.

I actually have a rule like that applies to me personally all the time. If I need to assemble some stuff that involves screws or nuts and bolts, and am done with that, then I allways ended up doing something wrong during assembly. I forgot to insert a part, a part is in the wrong orientation, drilled holes in the wrong place, cut the wood pieces in the wrong lengths. Sofar a probability rate of .999999999999999999999999999

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

Same thing could be said for toes.

The early bird may get the worm, but it's the 2nd mouse that gets the cheese.

I would have to concur...

It's almost guaranteed there will be parts left over no matter how carefully you re-assemble.
