    Murphy's other fifteen laws

    Murphy's Other Fifteen Laws

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

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

    3. He, who laughs last, thinks slowest.

    4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

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

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

    7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

    8. 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.

    9. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end,
    someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them.

    10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

    11. The things that come to those that wait, may be the things left by
    those, who got there first.

    12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish
    and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

    13. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

    14. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in the dark.

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

      Ah,

      But the real question is whether your woodworking is as good as your sense of humor.

      I just love you guys!!

      Thanks for the laughs, I can really use them.

          Murphy's Law of Clipping Your Fingernails:
          If you use a waste basket to catch the clippings, the clippings fly off at high speed in every direction. If you don't use the waste basket the clippings fall neatly to the floor.
