Murphy's laws

Ok i read this book...
MURPHY'S LAW COMPLETE
All the reasons why everything goes wrong
by Arthur Bloch

itz full of stuff you ever wanted to know, or atleast close to
it has liners like
"the severity of the itch is inversely propotional to the reach"
and
"At any given event, people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last"

pretty funny huh...

But they r true most of the times...a day after reading a book, i went for Being Cyrus with a few friends, and we got corner seats, and we arrived last!....it happens all the time..just observe

the book is filled with laws and more laws applicable in various fields..like leadership, love,household, engg, medicine..etc etc...

Some of my favourites are

Lieberman's law:
Everybody lies; but it doesn't matter.since nobody listens.

Laws of applied terror:
1.when reviewing your notesbefore an exam,the most important ones will be illegible.
2. 80% of the exam will be based on the one lecture you missed about the one book you didn't read.

Moser's law of spectator sports:
Exciting plays occur only while you are watching the scoreboard or out buying a hotdog

Athena's rule of driving courtesy:
If you allow someone to get in front of you,either:
a) the car in front of you will be the last one over a railroad crossing, and you will be stuck waiing for a long, slow moving train; or
b)you both will have the same destination, and the other car will get the last parking place

Law of Life's highway:
If everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Drew's law of highway biology:
The first bug to hit a clean windshield lands directly in front of your eyes

Sinteto's first law of consumerism:
A 60 day warranty guarantees that the product will self-destruct on the 61st day

Kitchen Law:
The more expensive the gadget, the less often you will use it

Hamilton's rule of cleaning glassware:
The spot you are scrubbing is always on the other side

corollary :
If the spot is on the inside, you won't be able to reach it.

Ballance's law of Relativity:
How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on.

Ruby's principle of close encounters:
The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

...so that were a few good ones...
go ahead and read the book...makes u look at trivial things of everyday life wid a lil amazement.
