1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

3. He, who laughs last, thinks slowest.

4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who donâ??t.

7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

8. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, thereâ??s a 90% probability youâ??ll get it wrong.

9. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them.

10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

11. The things that come to those that wait, may be the things left by those, who got there first.

12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

13. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

14. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in the dark.

15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people, who werenâ??t smart enough to get out of jury duty.

nice list

About 7 years ago I wrote a complaint about a vending machine eating my change. I was mailed a check for the 10 cents I lost. I still have that check, it was just too priceless to get cashed!

This is a fantastic list BA, and so true on so many fronts. The 50-50-90 rule is the defining rule of my life I swear.

Aha! It was you that's been causing me all this misery! You'll pay for this Reefer Rogue, and you're children, and you're children's children, and your...



Wait a minute... giving you that name is exactly the kind of sneaky, under-handed skullduggery Murphy's Law would try to pull. Nice try ML! Trying to pull this good community apart...



( Note: I'm currently sleep deprived and utterly insane).
