13 of Murphy's Other Laws

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

3. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

8. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture.

9. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

11. The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

13. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

It's hard to pick which one of these I liked the best because they were all very funny. Unfortunately, I experienced #13 during a recent power outage.

Ooh, those are good, Lori. I like the fishing and the shin bones, in particular -- although the slowest thinker is also pretty darn true.

Jenny McB said...

OMG- Loved #1, the jury one and then the fishing one. All made me smile.

OMG. This list is so awesome. I am laughing out loud regarding the shin one! Excellent Lori!!

Dorothy said...

All too true and all too funny. I like #13.

Karen said...

I think #6 was illustrated in one of the Indiana Jones movies!! Wasn't some guy whipping his sword around and Indy just finally shot him!! (Not funny....but yea, it kind of is!!)
happy TT!

Joanne said...

Lori,
You had me laughing out loud with the very first one! Great job! I actually lost track of which ones were the funniest because I couldn't stop laughing long enought to think straight.

Anybody who can make me laugh out loud deserves a Tiara for the Day! You got one!

Have a fabulous Thirteen-
blessings,
Merrie

They all sound like things you would attribute to Confucius or find in a fortune cookie...but that is usually a sign of great wisdom. ;)

Happy TT and thanks for stopping by.

I love the one about the fool. It explains why the word "foolproof" never REALLY applies.
