It was an ordinary day. Reading Traveltalkonline.com forum. Always something happening on one of the islands in the Caribbean. When I accessed the forum, it opens with threads about the island that you choose. Once you have opened the forum you can then choose to open People Talk where items related to almost anything can be discussed. I started a thread yesterday about e-readers and which one is the best for the beach. Within an hour I had a dozen responses giving me ideas about the many different e-readers that are on the market. A few days ago someone posted "Universal Laws" which pertain to just about anything. I thought I would share with you a few which seems to affect me the most. Maybe they also affect you.
1. Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
2. Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.
3. Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).
4. Law of Close Encounters - The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.
5. Law of the result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.
6. Law of Bio-Mechanics - The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
7. Law of the Theater - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last and are the ones who leave their seats several times to go for food, go to the toilet or leave early.
8. Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy - As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.
9. Law of Coffee - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
10. Law of Doctors - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor. By the time you get there you'll feel better. Don't make the appointment and you'll stay sick.
See yourself in any of these? I know I do. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
