Now that most of us are knee deep in our winter projects... Here is a replay of the famous Murphy's as I have heard them. Feel free to join in

1. If anything can go wrong it will

2. Nothing is as simple as it seems

3. Everything takes longer than you expect

4. Left to themselves, things tend to go from
bad to worse.

5. If you play with something long enough, You
will surely break it.

6. The legibility of the instructions are
inversely proportionate to their importance.

7. If there is the possibility of several things
going wrong, the one to go wrong first will be
the one that does the most damage.

5. There will always be one part that is
unavailable

6. When you ask for the simplest of advice or
materials, No one in the immediate area
will have any knowledge on the subject.

7. The company that made the article to be
repaired has gone out of business

8. Nature favours the hidden flaw.

There's more-
The schedule on your boatbuilding project may slip, but SWMBO's schedule for wallpapering the bathroom won't.

Murphy was an optimist!
