Friday Funnies - A Tribute to Major Edward A. Murphy Jr.

I was wondering what to post this Friday as unfortunately the doom and gloom around me doesnt leave much to be "Funny" about these days. Talk about India-Pakistan relations, Gaza, The Financial Crisis and the drama around it. Not to mention Moharram is at full throttle as well and some of my Muslim brothers would be mourning.

So, I ll keep it something light and pretty stereotype. I am sure you would have heard about the famous Murphy's Laws. This particular Mr. Murphy is actually Edward_A._Murphy_Jr. who came up with the very first Murphy Law which states,

"If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way."

This led to a series of the famous Murphy's Laws from different professions and it clearly shows how pessimism comes so naturally to us. We could just easily come up with the most creative and truthful Murphy's Laws possible. Here are a few more that I could find.

The basic idea is that "If something can go wrong, it pretty much will."

Salute to Mr. Murphy. Enjoy!!!

 

LAW OF QUEUE: If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now.

LAW OF ENCOUNTERS: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

LAW OF THE RESULT: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will!
