Each Friday I have been listing random laws from my Uncle Murphy. I think he is an optimist. I decided to list Uncle Murphy's original 8 Laws so that there was no confusion in the future as to just has smart he really was.
Murphy's Laws
- If anything can go wrong, it will.
- If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong.
- If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
- Mother nature is a bitch.

He was a man ahead of his time, chaos theory, quantum physics and all that, Murphy's grandchildren.
The glass may be half-full, but it's definitely cracked and leaking.
you think he's an optimist?
nancy,
Uncle Murphy would say that the glass is neither half full nor have empty. He would say it wasn't built correctly.
optisimist? hmmm... then i am down right a ray of sunshine. ;)
Well, I suppose this explains why my water, which was supposed to be back on at 11 am, is still off at 5 pm.
Thanks a lot, Murphy.
I don't mind it so much when Murphy shows up during training...but man do I hate it when he shows up during a race!
Later.
How about this secondary provision of Murphy's Law:
An unexpected windfall of money will be immediately followed by an unexpected expense of the same amout.
Yo, Commodore! You and Tri-Mama are both doing RNR AZ?! Me, too (if I can get my running back up to where it needs to be... and probably even if I cant.)
Strange, those laws sound like my Uncle. Are you saying that we are related???
