If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it.

Murphy's Law
If anything can go wrong -- it will.

Murphy's First Corollary
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

Murphy's Second Corollary
It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

Everything goes wrong all at once.

Murphy's Constant
Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value.

The Murphy Philosophy
Smile... tomorrow will be worse.

Conclusions
• If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong.
• Corollary - If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
• If several things that could have gone wrong have not gone wrong, it would have been ultimately beneficial for them to have gone wrong.
• Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
• If anything can't go wrong, it will anyway.
• If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
• If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
• Everything takes longer than you think.
• You never find a lost article until you replace it.
• If nobody uses it, there's a reason.
• You get the most of what you need the least.

There are laws - all kinds. Some are sung, spoken and recited, talked about but never written or legislated. Which, of course means you can't break them. You sort of unbreak them.

The Americans like their constittuion written. You bet they break it everyday.But George Bush didn't break any law when he said, "You can make the cake taller!"

The Brits like it unwritten but they pencilled evertyhing in by the margin all the same.

Still, some fools say a good law is never really written. You can add to them on leaves, lips and ear lobes but never write them.

So how? You might like to ask lawyers like Karim Hamzah and JV Fong.

What about the Bible? The Qur'an? Aren't they written. Sure. They were written in fire but now printed from Sarawak Trees.
