funny ... but that's life!

A few ground rules:
  • Inside every small problem is a large problem struggling to get out
  • Whenever a system becomes completely defined, someone discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition
  • You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you Can't Fool Mom
  • The only things that start on time are those that you're late for
  • Spend sufficient time confirming the need and the need will disappear
  • Opportunity always knocks at the least opportune moment
  • A little ignorance can go a long way
  • Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence
  • The shortest distance between two points has to be still under construction
  • If at first you don't succeed, read the manual
  • It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious
  • The legibility of a copy is inversely proportional to its importance
  • Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups
