Murphy’s Law
Someone stuck up a notice (more like a joke, I guess) on the staff room notice board about Murphy’s Law and today, I read it. Made a large smile stretch across my face (almost hurt as I haven’t really smiled much recently!).
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
You will always find something in the last place you look.
No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you’ve bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.
The other line always moves faster.
In order to get a loan, you must first prove you don’t need it.
Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought.
If it jams – force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly.
Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.
Murphy’s golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.
In case of doubt, make it sound convincing.
Never argue with a fool, people might not know the difference.
I also found this page which is pretty interesting: Murphy’s Law (and other peoples laws)
Funny how most of those (if not all) are true!
