Murphy's Lesser-Known Laws
1. Light travels faster than sound.
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
2. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
3. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
5. The 50-50-90 rule:
Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right,
there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
6. The things that come to those who wait
will be the things left by those who got there first.
7. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.
8. A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing well.
9. When you go into court,
you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people
who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

Not to steal anyone's thunder, but here are a few more I posted at my forums a while ago.
1) Law of Queue: If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now.
2) Law of Telephone: When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged one.
3) Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.
4) Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
5) Law of the Alibi: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire.
6) Bath Theorem: When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.
7) Law of Encounters: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.
Law of the Result: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.
