If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, they you're the only one who doesn't understand what's happening!

It is better to have been loved and lost, than never to have been lost at all.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Where there's folks, there's mire.

When you find yourself on a highway and all the traffic is coming toward you, you have to ask yourself if they know something you don't.

No matter how hard you shake it,
No matter how much you squeeze,
You'll always find that one last drop
gets in your bvds.

Just re-read my post above, and found to my complete despair that I mis-spelled "Hoggamus" in the first line.

There's a rather interesting story about that little verse. Aldous Huxley was among the first experimenters with LSD. During an early trip Huxley was struck with sudden inspiration, scribbled something on a scrap of paper, and stuck it in the pocket of his overcoat. Several days later, Huxley suddenly recalled this moment of pure understanding, rushed to the coat-rack, and discovered the above cited poem.

If you are trying to repair your car/clock/washing machine and you accidently drop an important and vital part, it will ALWAYS decend to the least accessible place.

You can lead a horse to water, but man is still a dogs best friend!
And two things I learned in the military.....
1.Never upset the pay staff or the cook.
2.If you want to be totally invisible, walk around with a pen and note pad in hand while appearing to "check" things :-)

When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.

I don't think 2 advisable - you might get redirected to another task (own experience). A really foolproof method is recommended by my friend Don Pedro (a real Ph.D., oriental languages), Pte, retd: Dip your hand into the waste oil barrel and grab a spanner. No superior will think of giving you additional orders - you are too dirty for the job.

A bloke I used to work with, years ago, used to say: "you never know your luck until a dead horse kicks you".

I suppose he had a point ... ?
