Does anyone else hate "Murphy" and his stupid law!!!!!

Why does it seem that Murphy's law (anything that can go wrong will...) apply's more in the shed than anywhere else?????:rolleyes:

Out in the shed yesterday finishing off a small platter for my sister. Needed to make up a jig and had to cut a circular piece of mdf so onto the lathe to simply use the paring tool to do it.

When I set up the lathe bench I tried to think it thru, and figured if anything ever "flew" of the lathe it would go right with the dierction it turns so I located my flouro light high and left of the lathe. can we all see whats coming yet?????

Thats right .............. Paring off the mdf I slowed the lathe right down but still managed to have a small section fly off and ting there goes the flouro tube into hundreds of small pieces!!!!

stupid Murphy:D :D :D

Geesh,
I thought it only happened to me so much that Murphy musta bin an ancestor of mine.
If it also happens to you a lot, he musta bin your ancestor too.:eek: :eek:

In the vicinity of my tool cupboard I have one 4" patch of bare concrete floor
that is not covered in foam matting. Guess where the fine old Stanley cast iron marking gauge landed yesterday?:(
