Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

I hope the day is going well for all of you...  this seems to be
a pretty accurate account of the different "unwritten" laws that
we all know but never saw them scribed anywhere for public
display.... enjoy!

Murphy's Law ("If anything can go wrong it will") is the inspiration
for a new book by Paul Dickson, "The Official Rules at Home."  Here
is a sampling of laws, rules, observations, and maxims collected by
Dickson:

Ballweg's Discovery:  Whenever there is a flat surface, someone will
find something to put on it.

Rabbe's Rule of the Bedroom:  The spouse who snores louder always
falls asleep first.

Dickson's Gardening Rule:  When weeding, the best way to make sure
you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If
it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Dorothy's Dilemma:  The heavier the package and the farther you must
carry it, the more your nose itches.

Rosenbaum's Rule:  The easiest way to find something lost around the
house is to buy a replacement.

Parent's Law:  By the time you're right, you're dead.

Smith's Fourth Law of Intertia:  A body at rest tends to watch
television.

Todd's Rule of Bar Code Malfunction:  The bar code in the checkout
line won't work on items you're embarrassed to be buying.
