Murphy's Laws of Mechanics

Murphy's Laws of Mechanics

  • If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needs replacing anyway.
  • If you drop a tool or small part while working on a car, it will roll to the exact center underneath it.
  • You can put anything anywhere if you have enough grease & a big enough hammer. Sent by J.C. Rolston.
  • Any instrument, when dropped, will roll into the least accessible corner.
  • Corollary: It will not roll if it falls on shag carpeting and is small enough to hide.
  • If you drop a tool or a part, it will roll to the exact center underneath your car, thus extending your repair enjoyment. Sent by Tim Salo, Madison, NJ.
