Everybody needs a good plumber....

We had a clogged up drain in our laundry room that our plumber fixed. I was supposed to call and make an appointment 2 weeks ago and I kinda forgot. I called up Monday and our plumber fit us in on Wednesday.

My pop always said to make friends with a good plumber and a good auto mechanic.

Our plumber Randy is a family friend and also one heck of a nice guy. He has more business then he can handle but always makes time for us when we need him.

I asked Randy why he doesn't have any advertisement on the side of his truck, he looked at me like I was crazy and just laughed, he doesn't want anyone to know he's a plumber, he already has way more work then he can handle.

Anyways, it was kinda cool catching up on stuff. We are both parents of college age kids and it was kinda funny how we both talked about our kids and how proud we are that our children might just be the kids that make a difference. Randy's daughter will be leaving in a couple weeks for Guatemala to do 2 years of missionary work....

My wife and I did the only project I really wanted to get done this week....cleaning out the garage. Took a couple hours and we were ruthless about throwing junk out...we ended up with at least a dozen garbage bags full of stuff.

Here are a few laws to consider...............

Zappa’s Law and Other Facts of Life

Here are some other immutable laws of the universe to consider:

Zappa’s Law: "There are two things on Earth that are universal: hydrogen and stupidity."

The Murphy Philosophy: "Smile. Tomorrow will be worse."

Baruch’s Observation: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

Lowe’s Law: Success always occurs in private, and failure in full public view.

Todd’s Law: "All things being equal, you lose."

Thompson’s Theorem: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

Vac’s Conundrum: "When you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal."

The Golden Rule of Arts and Sciences: "Whoever has the gold makes the rules."

The Unspeakable Law: "As soon as you mentioned something …
- if it’s good, it goes away.
- if it’s bad, it happens.

Green’s Law of Debate: "Anything is possible if you don’t know what you’re talking about."

Helen’s Law: "There is no time like the present to procrastinate."

Sdeyries’s Dilemma: "If you hit two keys on the typewriter, the one you don’t want hits the paper."

The Queue Principle: "The longer you wait in line, the greater the likelihood that you are standing in the wrong line."

Johnson’s Law: "If you miss one issue of any magazine, it will be the issue that contained the article, story or installment you were most anxious to read."

Ginsberg’s Theorem:
1. You can’t win.
2. You can’t break even.
3. You can’t even quit the game.

I think Zappa's Law is my favorite.
