MORE MURPHY'S LAWS

 

 

  • Multi-million pound technology is worthless in the hands of morons.
  • The rule of Protection: If you install a 50¢ fuse to protect a 100$ component, the 100$ component will blow to protect the 50¢ fuse.
  • Karl Imhoff was a German engineer who developed sewage treatment systems in the early 1900's.  His biggest contribution was the Imhoff Tank, which allows sewage to settle.  The Imhoff Law relates to bosses everywhere.  The law goes as follows: The largest chunks always rise to the top.
  • High tech man-year = 730 people trying to finish a project before lunch.
  • An expert will always state the obvious.
  • The boss is always right. Corollary: If the boss is wrong, refer back to the rule.
  • On a cruise ship, the one, most important part you don't have in stock always breaks on a Friday evening, just when you left harbour and the next time you will be in harbour is a Sunday or Christmas eve.
