My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| Who is Murphy? I don't know. I suppose I could do some research and find an answer, but it doesn't matter, he just sucks. Perhaps you're asking, "Why does Murphy suck?" Because of his set of screwed up laws! Yes, I'm talking about Murphy's Law which states, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. It's often used to explain unexpected or unfortunate events in a humorous way. Only, when the law applies to you, it's seldom humorous. Year's ago, while serving in the United States Air Force, we had a poster on the wall of our break room. There was a picture of Major Murphy at the top, and under it was the phrase, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". Under this was a list of various laws that covered just about everything, for example: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.  If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. And the laws went on and on. One section covered illness and stated that until you pass your illness to another, you can't get over it (I don't remember the actual wording). So, my wife had Covid and was sick for about a week. I did what I could to make her comfortable and aid in her getting over it. She did, but not until the day I woke up with a stuffy head, slight fever, and a cough; Murphy's Law! So, she's doing good, almost fully recovered, and I'm feeling like ick. It's been about four days, maybe five and I'm ready to wake up feeling better, but it just stays about the same. I'm not real sick, mind you, just enough to be tired and rundown with a bit of a cough, stuffed up, and a low fever. But, she's already had it and there isn't anyone I can pass this on to so I can get over it. Where's that damn Murphy when I need him? |
