I’ll start the list ….

& Law of Mechanical Repair – After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you’ll have to pee.

& Law of Gravity – Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

& Law of Probability -The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

& Law of Random Numbers – If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

& Law of the Alibi – If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

& Variation Law – If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now.

& Law of the Bath – When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

& Law of Close Encounters – The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically 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.

& Law of Biomechanics – The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

& Law of the Theater – At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

& The Starbucks Law – As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

& Law of Logical Argument – Anything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about.

& Brown’s Law of Physical Appearance – If the clothes fit, they’re ugly.

& Oliver’s Law of Public Speaking – A closed mouth gathers no feet.

& Wilson’s Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy – As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.

& Doctors’ Law – If you don’t feel well, make an app ointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you’ll feel better. Don’t make an appointment and you’ll stay sick.

The law that says “perception is reality”- If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, makes a mess like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck.

Murphy’s Lesser Known Laws

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

2.
Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

3.
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.

4.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

5.
The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.

6.
If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog.

7.
The things that come to those who wait will be the scraggly junk left by those who got there first.

8.
The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

9.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

10.
When you go into court, you are putting yourself into the hands of 12 people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.

Some police quotes
“The handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch out after you wear them awhile.”

“If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.”

“So, you don’t know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?”

“Yes sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?”

“Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.”

“The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or dog?”

“Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.”

“Life’s tough, it’s tougher if you’re stupid.”

“No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we want.”

“Just how big were those two beers?

“In God we trust, all others are suspects.”
