From my “Murphy’s Law” desk calendar archives thanks to Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Pipey, and cousin Nancy:

Arthur’s First Law of Love: People to whom you are attracted will invariably think you remind them of someone else.

Goofy guy’s perturbation concerning Arthur’s First Law of Love: In my early days, some folks thought i reminded them of  Bobby Darin. My wife thinks i remind her of my mother.

McClaughry’s Codicil to Jone’s Motto: To make and enemy, do someone a favor.

Goofy guy’s extrapolation of  McClaughry’s Codicil to Jone’s Motto: The extent of the enmity is exponential if the new enemy is a score keeper.

Burke’s Law: Never create a problem for which you do not have the answer.

Corollary: Create problems for which only you have the answer.

Goofy guy’s contradiction of Burke’s Law and Corrollary: Adherence to this law and its corollary is impossible in this day of computers, the internet, and the cloud.

Murphy’s Law, Fifthtuple

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.

Zappa’s Law: There are two things on earth that are universal: hydrogen and stupidity.
