Murphy's Law
My dad introduced me to an e-mail that enumerated several versions of Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong, it will. My favorites are:
1. Law of the Bath: When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.
2. Coffee 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.
3. Law of Bio-mechanics: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
And so today, I found myself formulating my own sayings:
1. Law of Mechanical Repair: The probability of destruction is proportional to the desire to repair.
2. Law of Rest: The probability of sleeping increases when it's time to stay awake.
3. Law of Property: Just when you decided to purchase a very expensive gadget, you encounter the robbers.
4. Law of Finances: The probability of getting paid is inversely proportional to the intensity of the promising at the time the debt was made.
5. The chances that it will rain increases when you forget to bring your umbrella. Or raincoat. Or boots.
6. Law of Management: The chances of getting concrete results is inversely proportional to the number of meetings held.
7. The more you hide from your boss, the greater chances of being called to his or her office.
