It is bad luck to fall out of a thirteenth story window on Friday.

One Friday a traffic policeman stops a Maisie and asks to see her driving licence.
'Lady, it says here that you should be wearing glasses when driving.'
'Well,' replies Maisie, 'I have contacts.'
'Lady, I don't care who you know, you're still going to get a ticket.'
If you need more than one item (pair, four, etc) the probability that one will be damaged or the wrong colour is directly proportional to the desire or need of the object.
You always need more paint.
You never have enough nails, screws or glue.
The likelihood that you will complete a weekend project before the end of the weekend decreases with when you actually start the project.
Therefore: Any plumbing project started after 4pm on Sunday will require an emergency call to the plumber to get the water running again.
To estimate the amount of time needed to complete a project: estimate the amount of time needed, multiply by two and use the next highest unit. Hence: A one hour task will take at least two days to complete.

Fun Friday post!!!
I'm going to have to use the Garfield one soon! Ha ha!
Thanks for the fun!
Murphy's Law is my life most days!!
Happy Friday Ann!!
LOVE the Garfield cartoon!!! That's me.
And, the trip to the hardware store...the screws/nails part...Bud saves screws in a coffee can for 'come in handies'. Well, every project he needs a screw [don't take that the wrong way] and the screws he saves are NEVER the right kind. Hence, a trip to the store!!
i know several people that can get that stupid disability check.. he he he on the contacts, yet another stupid person. thanks for the smiles and loe the pup that is smiling.... due to Murphy i never ever never start a DIY project any where any time.
