A law that governs the flow of unfortunate events in time. Applies equally to philosophical, physical, mental, and emotional conflicts. Eagan's Law states that:
"Given a specific set of circumstances, the most personally inconvenient outcome of a situation will always be the end result. Should one make a decision to enact a more convenient solution, that solution will end up becoming more inconvenient than the first.
However, in the event that one recognizes the potential of the most inconvenient outcome, an equally inconvenient but unforeseen outcome shall take its place."
Over the years, many have equated Eagan's Law with Murphy's Law, which holds that "anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Although the two are similar in subject matter, Eagan's Law provides a more comprehensive understanding of unfortunate phenomena than Murphy's Law. Murphy himself admitted this often, crediting Eagan's Law as the basis of much of his own work (citation needed).

Get the Eagan's Law mug.by Lampposteffect February 26, 2011
Get the Phoenix's Law mug.Harley Davidson riders don't wave because they think they are too bad. BMW riders don't wave because they think they are too good.
Sumner's Law is true. When I ride my Honda Gold Wing, I always wave at fellow riders, but Harley Davidson and BMW riders never wave back.

Get the Sumner's Law mug.States that any relationship advice given to your friends will work perfectly, while the same advice will backfire miserably if used by the advice giver
Guy #1: "Dude, that advice you gave me was great! I got five chicks' phone numbers!"
Guy #2: "Really? Maybe I should try it."
(One minute later; Guy#2 comes back, limping)
Guy #1: "Well, what happened?"
Guy #2: "Apparently a punch in the face and a kick to the crotch is the new way to reject people. Stupid CJ Law."
