Where Applicable

I have certainly run into a few of these laws in my day...

Lerman's Law of Technology:
Any technical problem can be overcome given
enough time and money.

Corollary:
You are never given enough time or money.

Law of the Search:
The first place to look for anything is the last place you would expect to find it.

Corollary:
It will not be in the last place you expect to find it.

Kaufman's Paradox of the Corporation:
The less important you are to the corporation, the more your tardiness or absence is noticed.

Miller's Law of Insurance:
Insurance covers everything except what happens.

First Law of Living:
As soon as you start doing what you always wanted to be doing, you'll want to be doing something else.

Weiner's Law of Libraries:
There are no answers, only cross-references.

Isaac's Strange Rule of Staleness:
Any food that starts out hard will soften when stale. Any food that starts out soft will harden when stale.

Kenny's Law of Auto Repair:
The part requiring the most consistent repair or replacement will be housed in the most inaccessible location.

Second Law of Business Meetings:
If there are two possible ways to pronounce a name, you will pick the wrong one.

Corollary - If there is only one way to spell a name, you will spell it wrong anyway.

The candy bar you planned to eat on the way home from the market is hidden at the bottom of the grocery bag.

Yeager's Law:
Washing machines break down only during the wash cycle.

Corollary:
All breakdowns occur on the plumber's day off.

Lampner's Law of Employment:

Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even which book it is.

Who Cares? I for one sure don't.

This one is just a joke, that's why it is in the humor category

Those are great! And who is this guy that doesn't care about anything? Is he joking?

I think it is funny that these two things he doesn't care about, but the Britney Spears & Faith Hill posts get a pass.

Odd.

I have seen him on other sites with the same disparaging remarks. Chalk it up to a bad day. I hope tomorrow is better for you, Norm. Keep up the good work, Vox!

I just said I didn't care, that's all....nothing more, nothing less. Don't read anything else into the comment. Nothing at all disparaging, just said I didn't care. I guess you only care about your opinion.....who is being negative. It' not me. I have learned my lesson, my opinion does not matter, it does to me, but not to you so in the future I will not comment....maybe I should just delete blogs from what I read. Your point is well taken.

Remember back when they used to have phone polls via 900 numbers all the time, and it cost money every time you cast a vote? I was amazed that they had a fair amount of people who would call in to respond either "I don't know" or "I don't care" I always wondered why someone would bother to take the time (and spend the money) to register that response.

Same here. Why would someone take the time to tell all my readers that they don't care? Especially about this post, which is really not a post to care about. I am quite happy to have you post your opinion, though I don't think "I don't care" actually counts as one. You are perfectly welcome to post that, as well, but other people will probably have something to say about it - just as they would if they disagreed with an actual opinion you posted.

Of course, it was just a smidge more than "I don't care" since you threw in the "Who cares?" intro, which makes it just slightly more .... confrontational? Is that the feeling I am looking for?
