Murphy's Lesser Known Laws
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.
He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
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.
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.
If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.
The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by
those who got there first.
Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.
The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12
people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Ride Safe!

Peter's Laws: The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive
1. If anything can go wrong, Fix It! (To hell with Murphy!)
2. When given a choice - Take Both!
3. Multiple projects lead to multiple successes
4. Start at the top then work your way up.
5. Do it by the book, but be the author!
6. When forced to compromise, ask for more.
7. If you can't beat them, join them, then beat them.
8. If it's worth doing, it's got to be done right now.
9. If you can't win, change the rules.
10. If you can't change the rules, then ignore them.
11. Perfection is not optional.
12. When faced without a challenge, make one.
13. "No" simply means begin again at one level higher.
14. Don't walk when you can run.
15. Bureaucracy is a challenge to be conquered with a righteous
attitude, a tolerance for stupidity, and a bulldozer when necessary.
16. When in doubt: THINK!
17. Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a
blessing.
18. The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
19. The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.
