Dorothy's Law

Two definitions:

1) "There's no place like home."
2) "In internet dating, the more attractive a person is, the further away they are."
"I had a great trip, but Dorothy's Law still applies." - definition 1.

"We have the same vibe and she is really cute, but she lives in New York - Dorothy's Law again..." - definition 2.

Weeble Law

The not oft spoken of but widely understood idea that, when tailing behind an obviously idiotic person on a bike, who is wobbling, swerving, or generally unable to maintain control of their vehicle, let alone the rules of the road, and is taking up an entire lane (usually the left turning lane), the driver in the motor vehicle directly behind the rider has permission to flash headlights, swear, honk, and eventually pass the cyclist while flicking the bird.

The Weeble Law only applies to morons during the day - intoxicated nighttime riders are exempt, as are children learning how to ride.

...Because Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.
I had to invoke the Weeble Law on the way over here, since there was a dude wobbling on his bike for 3 minutes and he couldn't decide if he wanted to make that left.

Beare's Law

The law of accumulating catastrophe. Often applied to nautical situations. Often a disaster beginning with one simple error that causes a domino effect.
Bill was sailing along when a shackle parted on the jib stay. The mast fell over the side. When Bill tried to engage the engine, the prop picked up some of the rigging and stalled. The wind and current pushed his boat until it ran aground on the beach. He had become an unwitting victim of Beare's law of accumulating catastrophe.

passport law

a new post-9/11 rule that says you can't leave or enter the U.S.A. without a passport. Just to go to Canada you have to spend $100 on a passport and wait for weeks to get it.
I live 4.5 hours away from the Canadian border and just to go up there and spend an afternoon I have to carry a passport now, thanks to this new passport law. That really sucks big time!
