Here are some that may help this along

- In order to get a lona, you must first prove you don't need it
- The chance of a piece of bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the price of the carpet
- If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
- Any tool dropped while repairing a car will roll underneath the the exact centre.

- The other lane always moves faster
- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
- If everything seems to going well, you have obvioulsy overlooked something.
- Every solution breeds new problems

"If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way"

The actual quote from Edward Murphy... Not so much "if anything can go wrong, it will" But more along the lines of, if a human is involved, your chances of becoming dead are greatly increased...

Beware of the light at the end of the tunnel, its an oncoming train.

That has to be best.
