These were included in one of my Facebook posts from a dozen years ago. i wanted to make sure they were archived here. i would add some goofy guy comments to each one, but some hit too close to home.

 

“Murphy’s Law” desk calendar has had a spate of great observations in the last few days:

Pascal on Man: The more I see of men, the better I like my dog.

Bloch’s Law of Golf: The only time your ball listens to you when you’re yelling at it is when you are giving it misinformation.

Jerome’s Rule: It is always the best policy to speak the truth – unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar.

Goofy guy’s admiration of Schopenhauer’s Theory of Entropy: As mentioned before this is one of, if not the favorite of all of the Murphy’s Law entries. i remain amazed that Schopenhauer in 1979 or earlier was able to perfectly define our current political condition (both parties).

Dunlap’s Laws of Physics:

  1. Fact is solidified opinion.
  2. Facts may weaken under extreme heat and pressure.
  3. Truth is elastic.
