Murphy's Laws


... If anything can go wrong, it will.
... Nothing is as easy as it looks.
... Everything takes longer than you think.
... All work expands to fill the time allowed.
... There is never enough time or money.
... There is no limit to how bad things can get.
... If everything is coming your way, watch out.
... All great discoveries are made by mistake.
... In case of doubt, say it loud and convincingly.
... Things always get worse before they get better.
... The worse the haircut, the slower it grows out.
... If you cannot convince people, confuse them.
... No two identicial parts are ever truly identical.
... Doing it the hard way is always easier in the long run.
... No one can ever leave anything well enough alone.
... If it looks easy, it's tough. If it looks tough, it's impossible.
... If people listened to themselves more often, they would talk a lot less.
... The shortest distance between two points is usually under construction.
... After your hands have become extremely dirty, your nose will itch.
... The length of a minute depends on what your are waiting for.
... Bad weather reports are right more often than sunny ones.
... If it jams--force it. Then, if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
... The first place to look for something is the last place you expect to find it.
... Being punctual only means your mistake will be made on time.
... Whatever happens, look as though you intended it to happen.
... Whatever plan you make, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere that will derail it.
... When things go wrong, they go wrong all at once, and at the worst possible moment.
... If everything seems to be going along well, you have definitely overlooked something.
