MURPHY'S LAW

share and share alike i say...i first read this at the waiting room of dr. lapus -- the family opthalmologist. i'm not sure how relevant that information is -- just thought i had to say something by way of introduction.

MURPHY'S LAW
1. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
2. You will always find something in the last place you look.
3. No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.
4. The other line always moves faster.
5. In order to get a loan, you must first prove you don't need it.
6. Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought.
7. If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up.
8. If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
9. When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly.
10. Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it.
11. Everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work.
12. In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there. - I especially love this one!
13. There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over.

Murphy's law and Other Observations
  1. If anything can go wrong, it will.
  2. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong.
  3. If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
  4. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
  5. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
  6. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
  7. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
  8. Mother nature is a bitch.
  • O'Toole's Commentary on Murphy's Laws
    Murphy was an optimist.
  • Ginsberg's Theorems
    You can't win.
    You can't break even.
    You can't even quit the game.
  • Forsyth's Second Corollary to Murphy's Laws
    Just when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, the roof caves in.
  • Weiler's Law
    Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.

you gotta hand it to the guy -- whoever the heck he is -- bless you for seeing the humor in life!

jun-jun and the boxers chronicles - continued

jun-jun and the boxers chronicles - continued As told by: Dizondu (as in disundo ng Stripper) 1) What was the first thing you got hold of when the squabble between the Boxers (tayo yun mga guests) and Jun-jun started? And why? Answer: Top 3 stuff to save from Jun-jun A)Of course my office bag and, B) another bag which contains the props and prizes for the party (i.g. 1 kg of uncooked oats, 15 pieces of lollies and blindfold for the bride-to-be). C) I also got hold of Jackie's phone which was just beside my bag when the chaos started. 2) What did you do next when you saw Jun-jun grabbing the bottle? (Your story please, from the time you saw him with the bottle up to point you were home already) Answer: There are so many ways to tell the story. I might as well make mine something like this: Top 5 Reasons that made me Bote-phobic A) I was so wa-poise to the point of stepping over the bed just so I would not have to go around the tip of the bed which was quite near to where Jun-jun was...
