I visit http://pithycomment.com, therefore I am. (You probably will not believe that is one of Murphy’s laws. You’re probably wrong. If eGrumps was known to Murphy, it would have been Murphy’s first law. I believe I am at a logical impasse here. )
A man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.
In specifications, Murphy’s Law supersedes Ohm’s.
Never say “oop’s” in the Operating Room. (This was actually Dr. Murphy’s Law).
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
When the going gets tough, everybody leaves.
If the facts do not conform to the theory, they must be disposed of. (Murphy was never very good at grammar – The sentence ends in a proposition, oop’s, that should be “preposition.” That shows you where my mind is.)
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

For Information on the 2010 (so far) Award: I’ve Got a Bridge I Want to Sell You – go to www.grumps.com.
Hot damn – It’s June 1 already. I guess I can forget about my New Year’s Eve resolutions – actually, I don’t remember my New Year’s Eve resolutions. Philosophical question – can you intentionally break a new Year’s Eve Resolution, if you don’t remember it? Probably not – you can’t intentionally break it if you don’t know what it was. Ergo – if someone accuses you of intentionally breaking your New Year’s Eve Resolutions – say you forgot them – and to bug off.
The object is to die young, as late as possible.
When in doubt, predict the present trend will continue.
There are only two problems with people. One is that they don’t think. The other is that they do.
Love is a matter of chemistry. Sex is a matter of physics.
You are not drunk if you can lie an the floor without holding on.
Logic is a systematic way of arriving at the wrong conclusion with confidence.
If it jams force it. If it breaks, it needed replacement anyway.

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?
I’ve solved the problem of getting messages on my answering machine. It says, “Please leave a message after the beep.” And there is no beep. Saves me having to return a lot of calls.
My kids moved away from home. We haven’t talked in two years. We just leave messages on each others answering machines.
Another method to reduce the number of messages left on your answering machine – Put the message “We’re not home right now, we”ll return the call when we get back – in about three years.”
I proposed to my girlfriend by leaving a message on her answering machine. How was I to know she had a husband?

Famous Maxims of Life for the Pessimist:
If you’re feeling good, don’t worry you’ll get over it.
When things can’t get any worse, don’t worry, they will.
When things are going well something will go wrong.
Any time things appear to be getting better, you have overlooked something.
The more time you spend on reporting on what you are doing, the less time you have to do anything. Stability is achieved when you spend all your time doing nothing but reporting on the nothinh you are doing.
You can’t guard against the arbitrary. If things were left to chance, they’d be better.
The volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcase.
When all else fails, read the instructions
