The laws of life...

Post by Belldandy16 »

another good email someone sent me. :D

THE LAWS OF ULTIMATE REALITY
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 (works every time)

Law of the Bath
When the body is fully immersed in water (or you are engaged on the toilet), the telephone invariably 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, (or talking on the phone with)

Law of the Result
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

Law of Bio-mechanics
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater
At any event, the people whose seats are farthest 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.

Murphy's Law of Lockers
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Physical Surfaces
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

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 shoe fits, it's 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 appointment 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.

There should be a set of these customized to cel collecting. E.g.,

Sensei's Law of Protective Shipping:

The more carefully a cel is packed, the more creative the postal service will be in trying to bend, puncture, drench or mutilate it.

or

Sensei's Law of Accelerated Delivery:

The best way to ensure that the postal service will deliver a wishlist cel to your address is to go to the grocery. You will be sure to find a "We attempted delivery and will try again tomorrow" sticker on your door when you return.

Alternatively, remove all your clothes and get into the shower. The sticker will be there when you dry off and get decent again.

[Note: the law works 200% more reliably on Saturdays.]

or

Sensei's Guide to Grading the Condition of Cels:

A cel will never look as good in your hands as it does in the dealer's scan.

It will never rain, unless you've just gotten your car washed and detailed.

The ONLY time you will drop a screwdriver/hammer into the toilet is when somebody forgot to flush.

actually... :emb
Joe already had a thread on that email

Very funny and totally true thou.

Heres another one for kicks:

If your expecting a really important call like say...
a phone interview? You literally sit infront of the receiver, sweating,
jittering, but totally ready to pounce at the 1st ring. Then you hear it
go off! You immediately pick it up.. then...

"... hello.. [insert full name here] would you be interested in signing up for Sprints new
long distance phone special? Only 39.99 for 1st 6 months..."
"NO!!!!!!!!!! *click*"
:dbz:

then you hear the dreaded --beeeep---
the call you were waiting for was incoming that very moment and you'vw
just been left a voicemail.

These are all covered by:

Gumperson's Law
The probability of something happening is in inverse proportion to it's desirability :wink:

There is also:

The Rennie Rule of Costuming
The more likely you are to show skin, the less likely anyone is to want to see it. 8O

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
