    Everyone has their own Murphy's Laws. No matter what you do, there is always something that is just guaranteed to happen, every time it shouldn't? Some of mine are below, what are some of yours?


    -The knife that we just sold out of will be the exact knife the next 10 customers are looking for!

    -The best way to guarantee another on line sale is to finish up doing shipping labels.

    -The customer you guarantee will have their knife in 3 days will be the one that gets lost at a sort facility.

    -All knives dropped in the shop will land on their tip.

    -The best way to guarantee a knife will not sell well is to tell customers they will not last long.

    These aren't Murf's, more like proverbs to live by:

    - He who pays the piper calls the tune.
    - It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
    - Be careful of the toes you step on today, because they may be connected to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow.

    An infant will poop up their back as soon as you use the last diaper in the diaper bag. Or forget a change of clothes.

    If you allow your mother in law to come visit for "a couple weeks" it will dump many inches of snow on the highways the day before she is due to leave and keep her at your house longer.


    I don't know if that qualifies but seriously.... what did I ever do to deserve this?

    I will always forget to bring something to a campout. Half of the time it will be something for which I have to return to the house or stop at a store.

    Every time the wife drives the truck it's returned with the gas light on. Every. Single. Time.

    We have a gas station literally a mile from our house.

    My thought: oh man this is it!! Ive finally gotten the hang of freehand sharpening!!

    My reality: oh well its the steel thats just got a bad heat treat and this knife is a dud. Call Mike.

    The really real reality: i screwed up and made it to thin and it rolled over. Mikes pissed at another dumbass and the forum gets a laugh.

    My wife never calls my cell unless I am taking a leak or a dump.
