[comp.sys.misc] Murphy's Law Books

SAC.55SRW-LGS@E.ISI.EDU (02/11/89)

Mr.  Chandross,

        Everyone has a Murphy's Law Corollary.  My favorite
rendition of Murphy's Law was rendered in "Looking Out For #1" by
Robert J. Ringer:

        Nothing is as easy as it looks.

        Everything takes longer than you expect.

        And if anything can go wrong - it will

        At the worst possible moment!

        Robert A. Heinlein had many corollaries in his novels of
Lazarus Long.  I wonder if anyone ever compiled a lot of these
into one book?

RAH did. It's called "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long." It's an odd
format (11x8 or so). Some of the sayings get a nicely illuminated page
all to themselves. I tend to xerox and post those on bulletin boards
(where they get ripped off and torn up by those who are offended by
them).
