Murphy's Laws

Murphy's Laws

How many are there out there"

I for one have always enjoyed the sardonic wisdom of Murphy's Laws. There appear to loads of them, corollaries and extensions too!

The rules? 1. No big 'G''ing answers, please.

               2. No "Overkill" just one or two per post...gotta leave some for others, right?

               3. Have fun!

To get it started: 1. Whatever can go wrong, will.

                         2.  What ever can go wrong will, at the most inopportune time and you will be blamed.

 

Let the games begin!

If in doubt... try every option until one works, but be prepared to take the blame for those that didn't. O:)

Never worry about the falling tree branch with your name on it. Instead, worry about the falling tree addressed, "To whom it may concern"

I thought Murphy was a pessimist...go figger.

If it can go wrong, it will and it will happen to me and it will be at the worst possible time.  Murphy's main law.

I thought Murphy was a pessimist.

I thought he was a bigamist... and the reason he was so miserable/pessimistic was having two mother-in-laws.

O:)

Personally I always thought that Murphy was a pragmatist.

This is one of my favourite sayings and is known as 'Blaauw's Law' in my canon.

 

Jones' Law: The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.

I must say that I have a rather awesome mother in law. And she gets me. Not very many people do. She has an awesome sense of humor too.

I had a mother-in-law like that once... more is the pity I didn't marry her instead, she definitely was the nicer person at the end of the day.  We remained friends for years after 'that wife' took off for greener? pastures, but unfortunately we both moved and ended up losing touch.

Here's one for the starkers:

About "that wife": Never trust a woman who acts like you are so sexy she can't help herself but drag you to bed.

That one dragged herself off to somebody elses bed, found out she didn't like it/wasn't as good as she'd hoped and wanted to come back to muggins.  Not bloody likely!  Like I said to her: "You made... er wanted to try out another bed, go lay in it!"

There's an old Confucious saying: "Woman who goes away because of itch bound to come back with clabs!? ;)
