Murphy's lesser known laws

Murphy's Lesser Known Laws


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

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

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

4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

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

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

10. When you go into court, you are putting yourself into the hands of 12
people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

11) Everything electrical runs on smoke. If you let the smoke out, it won't work anymore.

12) If Beethoven was born 30 years ago there would be better classic rock. If Walter Murphy was born in 1770, classical music would be entertaining.
