Murphy's Laws

My Favorites

LaGuardia’s Law
Statistics are like expert witnesses—they will testify for either side.

Law of Retrospection
You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track

Aigner’s Axiom
No matter how well you perform your job, a superior will seek to modify the results.

Jacobson’s Law
The less work an organization produces, the more frequently it reorganizes.

Weller’s Law
Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn’t have to do it himself.

Seventh Law of Kitchen Confusion
The more time and energy you put into preparing a meal, the greater the chance your guests will spend the entire meal discussing other meals they have had.

Young’s Law of Bureaucracy
It is the dead wood that holds up the tree.

Corollary
Just because it is still standing, doesn’t mean it’s not dead.
