I just don't understand it.

If you are trying to epoxy two pieces of wood together, you can clean it with MEK, acetone, or alcohol and the chances are that it will fall apart within 48 hours or at first recoil. If you are glass bedding a reciever, you can coat it with wax, oil, cat urine, dirt, fish oil, or horse manure, and within 24 hours you can't hammer that sucker apart.

I must not be living right.

Mr. Tarleton there once was this fella named Murphy and it seems that Mr. Murphy had a devil of a time getting things to work right. So good ole Murph devised this law of nature and called it Murphy"s Law. Well this law of nature says that "if anything can possibly go wrong it will". I beleive you have been Murph'ed. I do hope your day will improve.

Pregnant mares urine is a much better release agent than cat urine.

Ya gotta watch out for that pregnant mares urine they say it might make you grow breasts

[Kent Allen]

Yeeew!

[Jim Tarleton]

Once I discovered that the expensive release agents you buy are a mixture of wax and lighter fluid, I started using Turtle Wax or Johnson's Floor Wax. They work great. Instead of a 5 lb hammer, I only have to use a 2 lb hammer to break it apart, but my barrel now looks like a muffler clamp.

On the plus side, I have gained a lot of valuable experience in cursing and floor stomping and my neighbor did ask if I had changed religions.

PS
I also discovered you need a REALLY BIG Mouthed jug and safety glasses to catch pregnant mare urine! That stuff really burns your eyes, and you will discover that your proctologist is your newest best friend if you have to walk back to the house through the stud pasture!

Two things I've learned in life.

Murphy was an optimist!

A valuable item glued, will not hold. A cheap toy (put together out of scrap with Elmer's) for the grandson will last forever.

[TDH]

Remind me not to take that walk through the stud pasture. Thank you very much. Feet don't fail me now. LMAO

Dan a few things I've learned
Don't beleive anyone that claims they knows what is best for you
Don't eat yellow snow
Don't jump out of perfectly good aircraft

In only a "Jim Tarleton" way I feel a story coming on..............

Sorry dude, but you can spin a good yarn!!

He (Ed Murphy) was doing research on ejection seats using a rocket sled. After an apparently successful run of the sled, the instruments showed the test was a failure. Upon investigation, it was found that an electrical technician had wired the instruments in totally wrong. Speaking to the press, Ed stated that anything a technician can do wrong would be done wrong. When asked by a reporter if that could be restated in a more general way, Ed said, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

It was Ed Murphy's belief that if you kept sufficient track of the details (like supervising electricians more closely), then nothing would go wrong. Since this is difficult to impossible, you could say that Ed was the first victim of Murphy's Law.
