This theory recognizes that humans are not perfect and that for every mistake in a model or schedule
there will be another "mistake" in somewhat equal scope to offset each other, hence rendering the model or budget still valid.
The idea behind is that things will anyway fall the way they fall and we cannot control for that.
The optimistic view is that this theory rejects Murphy's Law, the negligent take on it is the "Trust me, it will be OK" approach to life.
Decide where you want to be.
Accountant 1: oh, crap... we forgot to add $1 million in income from product X sales to the budget
Accountant 2: oh, fudge... product Y's revenue is inflated by $980K...oh wait... based on the Theory of Offsetting Mistakes all is well, the numbers we gave the CEO are still valid, yay.

Girl: oh, crap... your condom broke
Dude: oh, fudge... you miscounted your days, your period is due today at 8pm.... you are not pregnant, yay.

Knanny theory

Never discuss Politics or religion with those you truly love.
Be thier for a friends/family even after that friend/family members has crossed you in the past. There was a reason they were part of your life from the get go.

Never judge a book/movie by it's cover. It's all sales and marketing tack designed to allure your sights to the product. Reading in to and research is the only way to understand it completly for yourself.

When you say love it means, you are willing to do the right above all, for that reason. Even if it means stumping yourself short in the end. People will always find a way back up from down and vice versa.
Knanny theory: All will be well
another Day
another sell
Unconsious minds bring upon thier own hell

Love with your mind
Keep you heart beating
Journey the next day my darling kind
It's only your body depleting

I'll love now as I did then
Artisctic ability's warm your soul
Speaking again, only you will know when
Take a glimps choose your goal

I wish you what brings you solace with a smile
For some one to hear the words stay a while
Will bring a bridge and fill a gap
Nor soldiers slain, riddled, with sap:)

The Rolling Theory

This theory is the same exact concept as the pickle and/ or olive theory, but for pothead significant others. If the relationship has one person who is a master at rolling and a master at getting high, then the relationship is at an equilibirum. This is best explained by the phenomenon of “opposites attracting.” Since there is always one person who knows how to roll and another who wishes how, the compatibility of both partners are being constantly tested.

* This does not guarantee that someone who can roll and someone who cannot are perfect matches. It is simply a trope found in stereotypical stoner couples and is a better argument than the olive or pickle theory itself.
Friend: “Yeah, me and my girl are pretty close. We smoke a lot but I don’t know how to roll…”
Me: “Sounds like THE ROLLING THEORY to me bro. Does she roll all the time or do you bring your piece?”
Friend: “I don’t even have a bong! I bring weed and she always insists we match, I think I might have to put a ring on that finger!”
Me: “Hooray!!!!”
