Murphy? MURPHY??!!!!
Let me introduce you to O'Brien's law:
Murphy was an optimist!!
To truly appreciate that, you have to understand the difference between
an optimist and a pessimist.
"An optimist, with apologies to Candide, believes that we live in the
best of all possible worlds.
A pessimist, on the other hand, is *firmly*convinced* that that is
the case."
