    Murphy's lesser-known Laws

    Murphy's Lesser Known Laws


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

    2. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

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

    4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

    5. 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.

    6. 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

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

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

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

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

    One thing generally little understood about Murphy's Law is that it was not actually coined by Murphy, it was another dude with the same name.

    Couple of others:

    Nichols' Fourth Law:
    "Avoid any action with an unacceptable outcome."

    Stapp's Paradox:
    "The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle."

    O'flanagan's corollary (to Murphy's Law):
    "Murphy was an Optimist."
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
