Murphy’s law of probability or sod’s law is summarised by the saying “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” This is a new little series intended to be a numerous and light hearted look at the world of cock up. More often than anything it’s the small things in life that stress us out, I know this is the case with me. This is a kind of reverse psychology look at the fact that when things go wrong – it ain’t that bad really.
Situation:
People are always doing stuff! all the time and we dislike nothing more than having to do something twice
1) A number of factors can come into play here, firstly the agent of Murphy has supplied you with duff information, leading you to make a mistake. This has the effect of making you look like a prize prune and making work for you by having to re-do what you’ve just done!
2) The other thing that happens is the somewhere in the 7th – 12th dimension (where Murphy himself lives) whatever is was you did, suddenly was sucked away into this dimension. You could have sword you did this, but it’s not there. Are you mad? Or just getting old?
3) The agent of Murphy in point 1 comes back to you after you’ve done it again and informs you it was right the first time!
You scream. Murphy’s Law has struck. Again.
What’s you view on Murphy’s Law? How has it struck you in the past… I hope you my fellow bloggies enjoy this little featurette.

Hahaha! Probably works out cheaper than paying them with money in the long run, even after the costs incurred by a series of minor screw-ups. Hey, I think we’ve just unraveled the mystery of Murphy economics! š

I am indeed, hence having the money for overseas adventures with Explorer Beastie. I’m finding it tricky enough to get everything I need to do done these days though… I think I need a clone! How are you getting on? Still up to your eyes?
