murphy's law

Otherwise known as 'sequelitis'. A general malady where any actor who reprises a character in more than one movie (that is, for example, is compelled to do, say, The Nutty Professor IV: Buddy Love Vs the Hamster) is doomed to repeat that character in other movies.
It is murphy's law in action: the movie The Haunted Mansion. (Other actors suffering from murphy's law is Bruce Willis, Sly Stallone, Arnie Schwarzenegger. Of course, Arnie may have inadvertedly found the cure for ML)

Only three posts in, and I've got to invoke McKenzie's Law.

Kobayashi's Law

That for a given number of identically made socks being lost to the Sock Gnome, the value of each sock losy except for the 2nd to last sock is minimal, whereas the value of the 2nd to last sock's value is close to infinite.
John had 8 Black identical socks. The Sock Gnome gradually stole 6 of them over the course of time. John didn't care that much because he still had a working pair; however, once John lost the 2nd to last sock, the remaining sock was virtually useless, by Kobayashi's Law.

QED.
