  • Cosmic Laws

    Truer words were never spoken.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Law of Mechanical Repair - After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

     Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible place in the universe.

     Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

     Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal - and someone always answers.

     Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

     Law of the Bath - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

     Law of Close Encounters - The probability of meeting someone you know INCREASES dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

     Law of the Result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, IT WILL!!!

     Law of Bio-Mechanics - The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

     Law of the Theater & Sports Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.

     The Coffee Law - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

     Brown's Law of Physical Appearance - If the clothes fit, they're ugly.

     Wilson's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy
    As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.

     Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick.

    Where I live (Calif. Central valley close to West edge) the cooling breezes in the summer heat always come from the West (the ocean.)
    When it gets too hot I just go down to the hangar and spend a couple of hours washing, cleaning, and doing minor repairs on the airplane with plans to enjoy some nice flying.

    By the time everything is ready a strong west wind 15-20 knots will have come up. That is a 90 degree cross wind. I can then close the hangar and go home and do a nice barbecue in pleasant cool conditions.

    Doing a careful time consuming job of washing the car is almost as likely to cause it to rain.

      You forgot to mention the perfect 3 point landing. It settles on and you didn't even feel it touch! The airport is of course EMPTY! NO ONE around. But...later you attempt the same to impress 6 or eight folks watching intently and naturally you bounce back into the air three or four feet, correcting with a little throttle, bounce yet again, and finally get hold of your wretched self and get it on correctly. As you taxi up you find that the audience has gone inside or left. They have seen enough! JC

        I was a passenger on a dc-3 flying into a Alaskan north slope white alice site in 80 and the copilot barely made the runway by 2 feet (in my opinion) and we proceded to do 3 point bounces for over 1k feet-each 1 worse than the previous, I sure was happy when the pilot said "I got this".
        Yeah he stalled it at the last minute and we fell out of the sky. (the copilot I mean)
