5 new additions to Murphy’s Law

June 6th, 2008 1 Comment »

Are you careful enough? Do you know Murphy? If not, I am pretty sure that most people do because he is quite famous. He made famous the saying that means better NOT be careful than sorry. “If anything will go wrong, it will.” It was named after Captain Edward A. Murphy but, the he did not name the law to himself. Another man named Murphy did. He also died by his law. One dark evening somewhere in the United States, his car ran out of gas and as he hitchhiked to go to a nearby gas station, while facing traffic and wearing white, he was struck from behind by a British tourist who was driving on the wrong side of the road!

It doesn’t matter if it will embarrass a celebrity or a famous person. It will just happen. But do you know, there are other additions to this Murphy’s Law and these are facts already!

1.    Light travels faster than sound. This is also why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
2.    A fine is a tax for doing wrong; also, a tax is a fine for doing well.
3.    He, who laughs last, thinks the slowest.
4.    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
5.    The 50-50-90 rule. Anything you have a chance of 50-50 of getting it right, there is a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.

So, next time, try not to be careful or else, Murphy’s Law might strike at the least expected time you expect.

A scary incident

May 1st, 2008 No Comments »

My female friend told me this terrifying experience she had a few years ago and I would like to share it now to warn other girls. After prom, the guy told my friend that everyone was going to the hotel for an after prom gathering party. She had second thoughts and thought it was shady but since she liked him very much, she want because he don’t want the guy to think she was not “fun”.

When they arrived, no one was there and there it was. Sorry for making this sound like a tabloid kind of story but, this is a real life experience. They started “doing it” and the girl heard a beeping sound at the corner. There was a red light. Feeling uncomfy, my friend dressed up and went home. The next day, everyone was talking about her video tape from the hotel room. She had wished she followed her instincts.

My advice is this, always follow your instincts and please, do not do stupid things that you will regret afterwards. Just follow what God wants and his path.
