Since there are a bunch of these, I’m going to run them as a series on Mondays…

• You can see a lot by observing.
• Once out of control, problems can be difficult to correct.
• The seventh month of a pregnancy is a poor time to address family planning.
• Great ideas need landing gear as well as wings.
• Remember – half the people who play tennis lose.
• Law of Surrealistic Planning: if today were half as good as tomorrow is supposed to be, it would probably be twice as good as yesterday was.
• Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
• Productivity Law: one-tenth of the participants produce over one-third the output. Increasing the number of participants merely reduces the average output.
• Eagles don’t flock – you have to find them one at a time.
• Law of Good Times: a hungry dog hunts best; a hungrier dog hunts even better.
• Law of the Law: bulls do not win fights; people do. People do not win fights; lawyers do.
• Law of Meetings: meetings can never end early.
• Law of Quality: it costs a lot to build bad products.
• Law of Executive Reward: there are many highly successful businesses in the US. There are also many highly paid executives. The policy is not to mingle the two.
• “I was expecting this, but not so soon” – Tombstone, Boot Hill.
• Law of Mind over Matter: if no one minds, then it doesn’t matter.
• When all else fails, read the instructions.
• Never take life seriously. No one gets out alive anyway.
• Law of Bulls and Bears: if stock market experts were so expert, they would be buying stock, not selling advice.
• Any task can be completed in only one-third more time that is currently estimated (Unless it’s a kitchen or bathroom, then it’s triple the $$ and double the time, if it’s winter, double that).
