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

Farmer’s Credo: Sow your wild oats on Saturday night; then on Sunday, pray for crop failure.

 Goofy guy’s objection to the Farmer’s Credo: i have never known too many farmers who lived by this law, but i have known a whole lot of other folks for whom this was a mantra.
