Murphy's Law

What can go wrong, will go wrong. Such optimism on the part of Mr. Murphy. Who was Murphy? Who appointed him lawmaker of misfortune? Apparently Mr. Murphy was involved in aeronautics back in the 1930's, when he came across a mistake in wiring during an experiment of deceleration. He said, "If there's anyway of doing it wrong, he'll find it"! Thus the law of Murphy was established. There is also a mathematical solution to Murphy's Law. It is as follows: 1 + 1 -> 2. The symbol, ->, means, 'hardly ever'. So the statement is, 1 + 1 is hardly ever 2. The solution just can't be that easy. Things don't always add up. No doubt many of us have experienced the hardships associated with Murphy's Law. The one day you don't take an umbrella, it pours buckets out of the sky. So occasionally we break the law of Murphy, and are punished to the letter of the law. Some of us are habitual Murphy's lawbreakers, while others seem to have Murphy's Law figured out, and stay one step ahead of the law. It would seem sometimes circumstances are beyond our control, the moon and the planets are out of alignment, and we happen to be standing under a tree with a bird in it, wearing our favorite shirt. We're not even looking for trouble, it just happens to pull our name out of a hat, and we're the Murphy's Law lottery winner for the day. If it strikes early in the day, it's almost impossible to escape further recurrences for the remainder of the day. At those moments, we should consider whether to struggle thru every second of every minute, or turn around and go back to bed. Here's a pared down list of Murphy's Laws. Enjoy.
1. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
2. Everything takes longer than you think.
3. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
4. 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. If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
5. If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
6. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
7. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
8. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
9. Nature always sides with the hidden law.
10. Mother nature is a bitch.
11. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because the fools are so ingenious.
12. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
13. Every solution breeds new problems.
And finally, Murphy's Philosophy: Smile... tomorrow will be worse:)
