Murphy's Law

Recently I came across two references to Murphy's
Law. Having seen these types of references before
and because one of the references included a copy
of the law, I thought I would find out what
Murphy's Law actually was.

Well, I found out that Murphy's Law is really
quite short. It is:

"If anything can go wrong, it will."

Then I discovered that all the other laws labeled
Murphy's Laws were actually corollaries that have
been added by others. But a lot of these additions
are actually quite humourous and true.

So, I am sharing some of the newer Murphy's Laws
with you so you can get a laugh just like I did.

Remember, when thing's go wrong it's better to
laugh than cry. Of Course you might want to fix
them too!

Some of the Newer Murphy's Laws

1.  If there is a possibility of several things
     going wrong, the one that will cause the most
     damage will be the one to go wrong.

2.  If anything just cannot go wrong, it will
     anyway.

3.  If you perceive that there are four possible
     ways in which something can go wrong, and
     circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared
     for, will promptly develop.

4.  Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad
     to worse.

5.  If everything seems to be going well, you have
     obviously overlooked something.

6.  Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.

7.  It is impossible to make anything foolproof
     because fools are so ingenious.

8.  Build a system that even a fool can use, and
     only a fool will use it.

9.  Rule of Accuracy: When working toward the
     solution of a problem, it always helps if you
     know the answer.
Corollary: Provided, of course, that you know
there is a problem.

10. The other line always moves faster.

11. In order to get a loan, you must first prove
     you don't need it.

12. Any time you put an item in a "safe place", 
      it will never be seen again.

13. Chaos always wins, because it's better
      organized.

14. If all else fails, hit it with a big hammer.

15. It takes forever to learn the rules and once
      you've learned them they change again.

16. Anyone who isn't paranoid simply isn't paying
      attention.

17. If it looks good,
      And it taste good,
      And it feels good,
      There has got to be something wrong some where,
      So be careful.

18. Behind every little problem there's a larger
      problem, waiting for the little problem to get
      out of the way.

19. Every rule has an exception except the Rule of
      Exceptions.

I have only posted 19 in the hope that you can come
up with good one to end this list.

In addition, I move that we repeal Murphy's Law.
All in favor, say Aye.

To Your Success,
Susan

PS Murphy also has a golden rule and it is:
"Whoever has the gold makes the rules."
