Murphy's Law Book Two [antikvár]

PREFACE"If I travelled to the end of the rainbow As Dame Fortune did intend. Murphy would be there to tell me. The pot's at the other end. " Bert Whitney, gentle reader.Gentle readers:This volume is a tribute to all who responded to the request for new Laws in Murphy's Law L Since the publication of that book I have been literally overwhelmed with penetrating insights into the operation of the real world (the one with people in it).The problem which I have had to face was anticipated by a correspondent from Ann Arbor, who casually stepped on my line to offer DIGIOVANNI'S LAW: "The number of Laws will expand to fill the publishing space available."And a further process comment arrived in the form of LEO ROGERS' BLESSING FOR VOLUME II: "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing."You will find this new book to be far more diversified than any collection published previously. While a small part of the contents was penned by your editor, the better portion (and the lion's share) of the Laws herein were contributed by regular folk, people just like you, only not as sensitive, who read Murphy's Law I and were inspired by THE FIFTH (and only) RULE: "You have taken yourself too seriously."Arthur BlochBerkeley, California January, 1980
