Smile…Tommorrow Will Be Worse

I often find myself quoting Murphy's Law. This is because I see so many instances of it being totally accurate. That's why the three pages of Murphy's and other similar 'laws' at the link are so interesting. See how many you think are true most of the time.

I have an iPhone app called Murphy's Laws, but I don't know if it is official or if it has the same content. It does have a lot of good ones, though, and pretty much every one I have read has been true.

My Dad worked with Edward Aloysius Murphy, at Douglas Aircraft (Later McDonnell-Douglas, now Boeing).
