It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, (a project) designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash.
One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, h cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it."
The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" and added this one, which he called Murphy's Law.
Actually, what he did was take an old law that had been around for years in a more basic form and give it a name.
'if anything can go wrong it will' was sod's law because it would happen to any poor sod who needed such a catastrophic event the least.
in no order of preference, these are a few that I agree with:
- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw
Corollary: The hidden flaw never stays hidden for long.
- Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics: Things get worse under pressure.
- The Murphy Philosophy: Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.
- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
- Nothing is as easy as it looks.
- You will always find something in the last place you look.
If your looking for more than one thing, you'll find the most important one last.
- When in doubt, mumble. When in trouble, delegate.
- Mr. Murphy warning: Don't mess with Mrs. Murphy
- The difference between Stupidity and Genius is that Genius has its limits.
- Power Is Taken... Not Given
- When something goes wrong, you cannot find the solution in the instruction booklet, but someone else always does.
- Murphy's golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.
- Everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work.
- All the good ones are taken.
If the person isn't taken, there's a reason.
- Brains x Beauty x Availability = Constant.
This constant is always zero.
- Money can't buy love, but it sure gets you a great bargaining position.
- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- On Dating: Availability is a function of time. The minute you get interested is the minute they find someone else.
- Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last.
- If you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
- When the lights are out, all women are beautiful.
- Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either.
- Love your neighbor, but don't get caught.
- A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man, the women he couldn't.
- Love comes in spurts.
- A man can be happy with any woman as long as he doesn't love her.
- Although it may seem like that on the outside, no one is having fun being single
- Never trust a woman who acts like you are so sexy she can't help herself but drag you to bed
- A love will tell you they love you endlessly.
A true love will tell everyone else they love you endlessly despite the embarrassment factor
- Love has all the answers. But till then sex brings up some good questions.
- Never make love in your back garden. Love is blind, but not your neighbors.
- When she says: "Don't buy me anything expensive" and you listen, expect to be single.
- As soon as you break up the man (or woman) who couldn't commit TO YOU will get married.
- Procrastination is a lot like masturbation, it feels good until you realize your just fucking yourself
- The more studying you did for the exam, the less sure you are as to which answer they want
alot la~!
