    Practical Laws
    Which one you have experienced in real life




    * Jone's Motto:

    Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate.



    * Terman's Law of Innovation:

    If you want a team to win the high jump, you find one person who can

    jump seven feet, not seven people who can jump one foot each.

    If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster

    than the one you are in now.



    * Conway's Law:

    In any organization there will always be one person who knows what is

    going on. This person must be fired.



    * The Peter Principle:

    In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of

    incompetence. Work is accomplished by those employees who have not

    reached their level of incompetence.

    Those who can, do. Those who cannot teach.

    Those who cannot even administer, become consultants.

    Everbody lies; but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.



    * Kovac's Conundrum:

    When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged one.



    * Van Herpen's Law:

    The solving of the problem lies in finding the solvers.



    * Murphy's Law of Government:

    If anything can go wrong, it will do so in triplicate.



    * Bell's Theorem:

    When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.



    * Ruby's Principle of Close Encounters:

    The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with

    someone you don't want to be seen with.



    * Young's Law:

    Great discoveries are made by mistake.



    * Kin Hubbard:

    A good listener is usually thinking about something else



    * One Anonymous Great Seer's Law :

    Money can't buy love, but it sure gets you a great bargaining position

    rubbish, when you dial a wrong number and get an engaged tone, you dont know you've dialed a wrong number because no one tells you that its the wrong number.
