Laws that you never learnt in school !


Laws that you never learnt in school.



1) Lorenz's Law of Mechanical Repair:
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.

2) Anthony's Law of the Workshop:
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

3) Kovac's Conundrum:
When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone.

4) Cannon's Karmic Law:
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tyre, the next morning you will have a flat tyre.

5) O'brien's Variation Law:
If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now

6) BELL'S THEOREM:
When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.

7) RUBY'S PRINCIPLE OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS:
The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

8) WILLOUGHBY'S LAW:
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

9) ZADRA'S LAW OF BIOMECHANICS:
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

10) BREDA'S RULE:
At any event, the people whose seats are farthest from the aisle arrive last.

11) OWEN'S LAW:
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...!!!
 Am I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

There is of course the variation to Lorenz’s law and it tends to be applicable to those of a certain age and those given to be wearing overalls as well as being horizontal or in other inaccessible place and the overwhelming immediate desire to pee instead!

It probably could be a separate law Whistle

D3 4.4 V8 Zambezi silver
D3 4.4 V8 Adriatic Blue
D3 2.7 (gone) Tonga Green
