It's The Law

 Judge

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 in a queue, the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Law of the Bath/Shower:
As soon as 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 Machination:
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 Theatre:
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.

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

Law of Physical Surfaces:
The chances of an open-faced 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 you really like, they will stop making it.

Hi Gary, I like your new photo, by the way.  and now that I know the laws, it all makes perfect sense! LOL! 

I noticed that if I was planning on doing something at a red light, like picking something up that had fallen on the car floor or getting the phone number out of the folder etc.... I hit every green light on my route.

Hi Gary, If this not one of your best posts, it is certainly is one of funnest ( new word) to read. Love it and I fully intend to copy it down . I think knowing these immutable laws of life will be very useful in a forewarned, forearmed sort of way.  LOL.

I chuckled over each and every one of these. Especially if the shoe fits, it's ugly. Thanks for a little morning humor, Gary.

Hey, I also see you changed your photo. You look much younger, too!

Dear Gary,

I love the new photo! This list cracked me up. Each and every one of them are 100% true. I have been victim of every one of your rules at some point.

Hello, friend.  These are all new laws to me...although I find them to be exceptionally correct.  My favorite?  

Law of Logical Argument:
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about. 

I have encountered this one so many, many times.

Gary, these are a hoot!  I, like Suzanne, love the one about the argument!!  Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about!  Ha!  The law of cooking and baking is the same as mechanical repair.  As soon as your hands are coated in eggs and flour, the telephone will ring!  Thanks for a smile.  It's lovely here in West Chester today.  I hope the sun is smiling at you where you are as well.

My graphic word today is elderberry.  Is this an old berry?

Gary:  These are very cute.  I especially like the one about the shoes.  I can't tell you how many issues I've had trying to cram my feet in shoes that were attractive, but weren't right for my foot.
