Back to my posting routine

So I’m back home following a great holiday in Finland. It was a strange experience having no land line, no mobile phone and no Internet for a whole week, but I seem to have survived. Instead I spent my time skiing, enjoying to quality family time and pulling Arthur along in his sled and throwing snowballs at Camille. Brilliant! I’ll upload some photos shortly.

Murphy’s Lesser Known Laws

  • Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
  • Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
  • Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.
  • Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
  • 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.
  • If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, on a hill, in the fog.
  • The things that come to those who wait will be the scraggly junk left by those who got there first.
  • The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.
  • A fine is a tax for doing wrong.  A tax is a fine for doing well.
  • When you go into court, you are putting yourself into the hands of twelve people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.
