    ... Murphy's law only fails when you try to demonstrate it.

    I never thought to try to demostrate Murphy's Law, if I tried to it
    would probably beat Me to the punch and Activate Its Self.

    I'd not try, either... ;) It's too much like, cheer up, things could be worse... So I cheer up, and sure enough, they are.... <G>

    If You don't know how Murphy's Law is, ask Your Wizard, He will tell
    You.

    Oh, I know it well enough, and lots of corollaries and specific
    versions thereof... ;) And, as a matter of fact, my current tagline
    list includes 8 tags about Murphy.... ;)

    I like the addendum that states "Murphy was an optimist."

    See below.. ;)

    ... Murphy wasn't an optimist. He just got it wrong.
