Love my Ford Flex. And everyone I know how has one does as well. Unique styling - more squared off and less angular and trendy. Because it’s more square you can really get the load in there. Great for my annual migrations - being a snow bird.
Of course they quit making them after 2019.
Robin’s prime directive: If you find something you like, buy a lot of it (them). If you find something you REALLY like, buy a lifetime supply.
Law of Physical Surfaces - also applies to kids with plates of spaghetti and the stain will remain 30 years later.
Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy - the company will immediately change the recipe.
Law of the Bath with a bit of Doctor’s Law - the phone will ring the second you climb on a ladder to paint the bathroom causing you to fall off said ladder busting your head open and the doctor will stand outside your patient room to diagnose it as nothing to be bothered with as blood is dripping onto his floor.
Law of Law - It never works on democrats
“For every sock the dryer loses, a random Tupperware lid appears in the kitchen.”
Read a short Science Fiction story some years ago, about a guy who was a quantum mechanics type scientist. He kept losing socks in the dryer. He kept careful count but every 3rd load or so would be missing a sock. After doing some calculations he realized that with just the right spin, heat and static electric build up a portal into an alternate universe would open up on the dryer basket big enough for a sock to go thru. It would collapse after one sock. He was losing a sock but somebody was gaining one, thus at least not violating any Newtonian, etc laws.
I always liked the Law of the Experiment (or Demonstration):
The success of any demonstration or experiment is inversely proportional to the importance of the people watching it. Always.
3. You get paid on Friday
4. The boss is an ahole
The length of time an object is stored in your attic (basement, garage) is inversely proportional to the time you will absolutely NEED it after you’ve donated it to charity.
Murphy was an optimist
In troubleshooting major outages on conference bridges with Vice Presidents, Directors and General Managers listening in for hours on end or simply talking on the phone with a Special Services technician, the Central Office craftsman and an Outside Plant dispatch repairman for an eternity, it is easy to see that telephones are not any part of God. It's all digital nowadays anyway. Cellphones are a gift from the Devil to destroy polite civil discourse.
