My friend Murphy....

Little known codicils to Murphy's law

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

2. He who laughs last, thinks the most slowly.

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

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

5. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

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

10. 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.


11. Flashlight: A metal tube used to store dead batteries.


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

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

In High School.....

One of my best friends proved, time and time again...what shall be known as "Johnson's Law". It states...

"Any tool dropped while working on a vehicle...will inevitably be found in the vehicles exact geographic center".

Like I said...proven over and over. See for yourself the next time you have to do any work on your car or truck.

Murphy WAS an optimist! Chris

Oh yeah...I forgot one of the best.


There is no such thing a "idiot proof". The world will ALWAYS build a bigger idiot. JCA

My favorite

is "Jenning's Corollary" which states, "The chances of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet."

True story as I heard it, speaking of Murphy's Law:

In the early 1900's (1902 I believe), there were only two automobiles registered in the state of Kansas. They collided.

A couple more...

Interchangeable parts won't.

If a correctly engineered safety factor is established, an ingenious idiot will figure out how to exceed it.

The missing part is always the most critical.

No matter how many tools you have, you will never be able to find the one you need, when you need it.

Small parts and tools will always be dropped in the darkest corners of the basement.
