"If you buy just one of something, you will surely break it almost immediately, but if you buy one or more "spare" items to have "just in case", your "initial" item will miraculously escape damage no matter how many mishaps you endure, and thus those duplicate items will merely gather dust in the garage or at the back of your desk-drawer."
I have always tried to handle objects gently and carefully, but due to extreme forgetfulness and physical/mental/emotional infirmities, I tend to "be rough on my stuff" --- sitting/stepping on unobserved items, blundering into objects as I'm groggily stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night, soiling items or spilling/dropping stuff, etc., and so I occasionally attempt to "prepare for the future" by acquiring spares of the types of items which I typically seem to damage or break; only prob is that just as soon as I do "lay in for a rainy day" like that, the "currently-being-used" object that I had been procuring said spares for NEVER SEEMS TO ACTUALLY SUSTAIN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, and so all of those extras that I'd carefully tucked away just "sit there for decades"... talk about a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Spares"!

Get the Murphy's Law of Sparesmug. How a group of people grumbles regarding a supervisor, mayor, journalist, historian, or other influential mucky-muck who publishes a less-than-favorable report about said body of citizenry.
Teenage parishioners, in a letter of protest to their local abstinence-and-chastity-ranting minister who'd recently written an article admitting to having "gotten some" from one or more females other than his wife: How can you expect us to ignore our basic urges and desires when YOU YOURSELF won't even exert yourself adequately?! We try our best, and yet this is how you treatise!

Get the We try our best, and yet this is how you treatise!mug. Heavier-than-usual "particles" of verbally-administered (i.e., "said to you") of b**ls**t that tend to settle to da bottoms of your ear-canals and clog 'em up instead of simply "passing through" --- i.e., "going in one ear and out da other" --- da way normal-weight crap-trap should.
One should periodically see an ear-specialist to have his ear-canals cleaned of saidiment if he is frequently subjected to one or more bee-essers for extended periods.

Get the saidimentmug. Stifled snickers and whispered comments uttered by the various members of a group of guys when they observe that the bikini-top, bra, etc. worn by a female (particularly one whom the guys are not overly fond of, either because they view her as being “full of herself”, or because she shoves lots of criticism and unwanted advice down their throats and/or otherwise acts like a feminist b***h to them) has slipped aside or come off without her being aware of it, leaving at least one of her titties exposed.
Us guys were just trying to soak up some afternoon sunshine at the beach, but that local “neighborhood grandma” was standing there blocking our light and trying to lecture us about the “fallacies of laziness”. Didn't we have some major titters when her limp skimpy string-thing slipped up and we stared at her hooters all during the speech --- we didn't hear a word she said! Wonder what kinda mortified hissy-fit she had sometime later on whenever she finally discovered it! Served her right --- some NERVE she had, disturbing our relaxation by regaling us with her long-winded harangue about “you will regret your indolence later in life”!

Get the tittersmug. Some people make a big deal about how supposedly charming and suave da leading man in "Gone With The Wind" is, but I felt generally turned off by him as just an arrogant dandy, so I think dat da praise is really just a lotta rhettoric.
