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.
