Murphy's Lesser Known Laws:
* 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 case for holding 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 into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. |
