Law of mechanical repair......After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you will need a pee.

Law of Gravity......Any tool, bolt, nut,screw, when dropped, will roll to the most inaccessible place in the universe.

Law of probability.....The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of random numbers.....If you dial a wrong number it is never engaged...someone always answers.

Law of variation.....If you change lanes, the one you were in will always move faster that the one you joined.

Law of the bath.....When the body is fully immersed in water...the phone will ring.

Law of close encounters.....The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

Law of the result.....When you try to prove a machine won't work...it WILL.

Law of biomechanics.....The severity of the itch is always inversely proportional to the reach.

No matter what time you serve up dinner someone will ring either the doorbell or the phone just as you're about to take the first mouthfull!

The moment you've struggled to the top of the stairs someone will ring the doorbell.

If you haven't been anywhere for weeks and you get an invitation, you will always get another one for the same day.

If you see a piece of clothing you really like, they will a,ways have every size and length except yours, bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, not the preferred colour.

If you find a product you really like, it will always be altered in some way or withdrawn altogether.

This is sods law as we know it!!!
