UNIVERSAL LAWS

11.. Law of the Theater and Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over.

A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, 'I don't like the looks of your wife at all.'
'Me neither doc,' said the husband.
'But she's a great cook and really good with the kids.'
----------------------------------
An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years.
The Wizard says, 'Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you.'
The old man says without hesitation, 'I now pronounce you man and wife.'
-----------------------------------
While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had even considered buying a bathing suit, so I sought my husband's advice.
'What do you think?' I asked.. 'Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?
'Better get a bikini,' he replied 'You'd never get it all in one.'
He's still in intensive care.
-----------------------------------
The graveside service just barely finished, when there was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance.
The little old man looked at the preacher and calmly said, 'Well......she's there.'

Ting Mahathir called PKR candidate Datuk Zaid Ibrahim a “frog”, saying Hulu Selangor voters should not trust anyone who might get drunk to represent them.
A very mean, malicious, spiteful, malevolent and vicious remark from an old, senile ex-PM!

Anonymous From the wiki on Strong Law of Small Numbers
""There aren't enough small numbers to meet the many demands made of them." In other words, any given small number appears in far more contexts than may seem reasonable, leading to many apparently surprising coincidences in mathematics, simply because small numbers appear so often and yet are so few."
From this article on How Dragon Kings Could Trump Black Swans
"Sornette goes on to identify a number of data sets showing power laws with outliers that he says are the result of positive feedback mechanisms that make them much larger than their peers. He calls these events dragon kings. What's interesting about them is that they are entirely unaccounted for by a current understanding of power laws, from which Nassim Nicholas Taleb built the idea of black swans."
"The special characteristic of dragon kings is that a positive feedback mechanism creates faster-than-exponential growth, making them larger than expected."

Johan H A few home-made laws of mine:
Law of many phones - Your handphone stays quiet all day and only decides to ring when the house phone rings.
Law of the mamak stall - When your drinks arrive, you will always get served her drink and she yours.
Law of inverse delivery - When you are the first table to order, your table will be the last to get the food.
Law of great timing - When you bring a guest to your favorite restaurant, it will always be closed for a rest day
Have a stress-free weekend!
