Ok, I stole this from another forum, but thought it was great

THE LAWS OF ULTIMATE REALITY

Law of Mechanical Repair
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.


Law of Gravity
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

Law of Probability
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of Random Numbers
If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

Law of the Alibi
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

Variation Law
If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Law of the Bath
When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

Law of Close Encounters
The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

Law of the Result
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

Law of Biomechanics
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

The Starbucks Law
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Murphy's Law of Lockers
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Physical Surfaces
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

Law of Logical Argument
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Brown's Law of Physical Appearance
If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

Oliver's Law of Public Speaking
A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Wilson's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy
As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.

Doctor' Law
If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better. Don't make an appointment and you'll stay sick.

Great stuff! I completely agree, especially about the Commercial Marketing Strategy-- the Dove deodorant I love(d) was taken off the market about 2 years after I found it. The only one that didn't give me an insatiable itch!!

The story of my life :rolleyes:

Murphy's Law of Lockers
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Or the Law of Bus Seats....in an empty bus, you're sitting by yourself, someone comes in, and sits right next to you:(

Law of Logical Argument
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

I'm an expert on this :D

Brown's Law of Physical Appearance
If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

Or the shoe you want fits, but is way expensive.



This is really true!

How about adding this one to the list? It applies to hard core do it yourselfers.

It ain't broke unless ...
#1- I can't fix it.
#2- I don't feel like fixing it.

One that is worthy to add to this list, comes from my high school Calculus teacher, Bill Hendricks, who hated Probability and Statistics:

"The probability of any event taking place is 50-50. Either it will or it won't."

Hasn't failed me (or Mr. Hendricks) since 1981 when I first heard him postulate it.

He probably hasn't heard of quantum mechanics!!
