Murphy’s Obscure Laws (Part Six) – Jokes, Humor & Pithy Comments – From eGrumps — July 7, 2010

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

“eGrumps,  You have a dilemma. The more you publish my “Obscure Laws,” the less obscure they become. You are doing me a great disservice by creating this problem.” (Murphy)

“Huh? Murph, don’t bother me with details. It’s all your fault by creating Obscure Laws. If you didn’t create them in the first place, I couldn’t publish them and remove their obscurity.” (eGrumps)

“Huh? eGrumps, if I didn’t want to make them obscure, I wouldn’t have published them.” (Murphy)

“Murph. I want to introduce you to Mrs. eGrumps. She thinks I am a a first class idiot, but maybe that’s because she hasn’t met you.” (eGrumps)

“Anyhow, grumps, here are few more obscure laws from which you can remove the veil of obscurity.” (Murphy)

1. Evil is live spelled backwards.

2. Whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. (Otherwise known as “If So,  How Come it All Landed on Me Law.”

3. If it feels good, don’t do it.

4. No man with four aces ever howls for a new deal.

5. The chief causes of problems are solutions.

6. You can conquer gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.

People are living longer these days. When the Angel of Death calls, he gets an answering machine.

I just bought an answering machine. It’s not working too well. Maybe the fact that I don’t have a telephone has something to do with it.

Why is it that whenever you return a call left on your answering machine, you get the other person’s answering machine?
