IF MURPHY’S LAW DEPENDED ON THE SPEED OF THE BRAZILIAN CONGRESS, IT WOULD ALREADY BE APPROVED ________________________________________________________

Thursday, Nov. 12, 2009

My famous law states simply that “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” It’s cited every day by thousands of people around the five continents. Murphy’s Law even managed to be adopted in Brazil, where we don’t even respect the Law of Gravity, as evidenced by Luiza Brunet’s breasts. Just about everyone out there can explain the concept. And I’ve never lacked for recognition – whenever anyone mentions the law, the always cite its author. It’s a privilege I share with Jessica, and a few others. 

Nevertheless, few truly realize the social benefits my law provides by granting relief from the minor traumas of everyday life. For example, we all know that the simple act of a flight attendant serving coffee will cause the plane she’s on to experience turbulence. If the person being handed a cup has the misfortune to see it ruin his new suit, he doesn’t have to curse the injustices of fate – he can simply note he is obeying the law. And, after his flight lands, if he simply considers the Murphyian thought that “whatever baggage carousel you’re standing at, your suitcase will come out a different one,” he won’t be perceived as a traveler who doesn’t read signs, but simply as a law-abiding citizen.  

Another benefit from my brilliant idea: increased self-esteem. Let me explain. Common phrases like “When I forget my umbrella, it always rains” are the purest expression of Murphy’s Law. But that simple statement shows our protagonist has endowed himself with considerable self-importance. The clouds – and perhaps even God himself – must keep close tabs on this one particular umbrella owner. As soon as the umbrella is left at home, they spring into action to prepare the thunderstorm. But if you want to hear about the most important element of Murphyism, you’ll just have to wait.. That’s because the end of this post was scribbled on a napkin that I put down right next to one I was using to hold a sandwich. Can you guess which one the waitress just threw out?
