Murphy’s Law

You’re driving to and from Monticello observing the speed limit, staying in your lane, watching for deer, cows, donkeys, other cars, bicyclists, couches, you name it.

All of a sudden you look in your rear view mirror and speeding towards you is some truck or car nipping at your bumper. Not a good sign!

Remember those multiple choice answers from the driver training manual?

A. Slow down and allow the oncoming vehicle to pass you at a safe speed,

B. Speed up to keep oncoming vehicle from overtaking your vehicle,

C. Pull off the road and stay out of the mix,

D. Put on the brakes suddenly to see offending driver with that deer caught in the headlights look.

What to do? Whatever you decide you’ll probably using Murphy’s Law.

Murphy’s Law – Things will go wrong in any given situation if you give them a chance. Say your driving home with six, maybe 7 lanes of traffic, bumper to bumper, when you notice that two lanes over is moving. Considering that no other driver also notices this coincidence, you EASE over the two lanes and start to move.

Suddenly that lane comes to a stop and the original lane is moving now. This scientific abnormality is Murphy’s Law.

Remember those old sayings, never get up on the wrong side of the bed, don’t lay a hat or shoes on a bed, as a remedy for nervousness keep a hatchet under the bed, but on the other hand, don’t carry an ax in the house it brings bad luck. All this talk of hatchets and axes makes me as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Disregard the above and go for a sure thing. For good luck carry an onion in your pocket along with a rabbit foot and above all never buy a dead cat in a graveyard unless your carrying some shiny dimes. Now, folks, that’s some good advice.
