“Murphy’s Law”
From my “Murphy’s Law” desk calendar archives thanks to Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Pipey, and cousin Nancy:
Willoughbby’s Law: When you try to prove someone that a machine won’t work, it will.
Goofy guy’s realization of Willoughby’s Law: When i began mowing our neighbors’ yards as well as our own at nine years old, i would often flood the mower engine because of inappropriate use of the choke. i never get it started and would have to call my father who would drive home from work, take one pull on the engine cord, and the mower would start. This was repeated several times every summer until i was about 14 (Joe, when did you take over the mowing jobs?). i finally realized Willoughby’s Law was indisputable.

Gourd’s Axiom: A meeting is an event where the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.
Goofy guy’s addendum to Gourd’s Axiom: …and hardly ever does anything get accomplished.

From my “Murphy’s Law” desk calendar archives thanks to Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Pipey, and cousin Nancy:
Beifield’s Principle: The probability of a young man meeting a desirable and receptive young female increases by pyramidal progression when he is already in the company of 1) a date, 2) his wife, 3) a better looking and richer male friend.
Goofy guy’s proof of Beifield’s Principle: i can recall at least 276 incidents of this happening to me from 14-years old until i reached 60.
Goofy guy’s corollary to Beifield’s Principle: Once you reach 60, it doesn’t matter because if you are lucky, those attractive young female you meet will think you are a nice old man or the father of one of their friends; if you are not lucky, they will think you are a dirty old man.

Truman’s Law: If you cannot convince them, confuse them.
Goofy guy’s admission concerning Truman’s Law: What success i’ve had is from inadvertently effecting Truman’s Law; unfortunately, i was also confusing myself.
