Murphy's Laws And Others

Law of Mechanical Repair 

After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

Law of Gravity


Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible place in the universe.

Law of Probability


The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of Random Numbers 


If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal; someone always answers.

Variation Law 


If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now.

Law of the Bath 


When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

Law of Close Encounters 


The probability of meeting someone you know INCREASES dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

Law of the Result 


When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, IT WILL!!!

Law of Biomechanics


The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena


At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.

The Coffee Law 


As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Murphy's Law of Lockers


If there are only 2 people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Physical Surfaces


The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor,
are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet or rug.

Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy 


As soon as you find a product that you really like,
they will stop making it, OR the store will stop selling it!!

Doctors' Law 


If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better..  But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick.

Why English Is Hard to Learn

We will begin with box; the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, and two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose is never called meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice;
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
The plural of man is always men,
But the plural of pan is never pen.

If I speak of a foot, and you show me two feet,
And I give you a book, would a pair be a beek?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't two booths be called a beeth?

If the singular's this and the plural is these,
Should the plural of kiss be ever called keese?

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his, and him;
But imagine the feminine...she, shis, and shim.
Got it?

Old Age Symptoms

When you like to be in a crowd because they keep you from falling down.

When the parts with arthritis are the parts that feel the best.

When your favorite section of the newspaper is "25 Years Ago today."

When a big evening with your friends is sitting around comparing living wills.

When your knees buckle but your belt won't.

When your clothes go into your overnight bag so you can fill your suitcase with pills.

When somebody you consider an old-timer calls you and old-timer.

When your idea of a change of scenery is looking to the right or left.

When your back goes out more than you do.

When you want to be nostalgic and you can't remember anything.

When you don't care where your spouse goes, as long as you don't have to go along.

When it takes longer to rest than get tired.

When getting "a little action" means you don't have to take a laxative.

There are three signs of old age.

The first is your loss of memory, the other two I forget.

A Thanksgiving Dinner


Take a turkey, stuff it fat,
Some of this and some of that.
Get some turnips, peel them well.
Cook a big squash in its shell.

Now potatoes, big and white,
Mash till they are soft and light.
Cranberries, so tart and sweet,
With the turkey we must eat.

Pickles-yes-and then, oh my!
For a dessert a pumpkin pie,
Golden brown and spicy sweet.
What a fine Thanksgiving treat!

David Letterman's Top 10 Reasons To Vote Democrat

        #10.  I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd.                                                        
 
#9.  I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn't.                                                          
 
#8.  I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.                                                           
 
#7.  I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. 
 
#6.  I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.  I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that gets police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.              
 
#5.  I vote Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.                                                          
 
#4.  I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.                                                           #3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves.  They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees fit.                                                          
 
#2.  I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.                                                           
 
… And, the #1 reason I vote Democrat is because I think it's better to pay $billions$ for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, or fish here in America.  We don't care about the beetles, gophers, or fish in those other countries.
