The simple fact of reality which states that whenever one is in a hurry, one or more of the following effects are experienced when driving a car:
-Chance of encountering consecutive red lights is increased.
-When in an intersection, chance of having a left turn larry in your line is increased.
-Chance of getting stuck behind an extremely conservative driver or a naturally slower vehicle is greatly increased.
Basically, the Murphy's Law of driving. If you need to get their fast, you're going to get their less quickly.

Boss - You're late.
Flunky - Sorry. 6 red lights in a row, got stuck behind an 18-wheeler, and it seemed like everyone just wanted to turn left today.
Crony - Murphy's Traffic Law. Respect.

Gary: How am I supposed to know which one she is? The only pictures she posted were group photos.
Tim: She is most likely the least attractive person in the group. It's Tinder's Law of Attraction.

1. During discussion of a case in criminal law, one notorious law school gunner once proclaimed: "Professor, the holding of this case reminds me of a Klingon proverb, you know, 'Revenge is a dish best served cold.'"

3.
After asking a dozen questions in the span of 45 minutes, the following exchange may occur:
Gunner: "Professor, I have another question."
Prof: "Ok, but this is the last one for this lecture, we have to move on."
Gunner: "Well, I have several more, and I'd like to ask them." (The gunner then proceeds to ask them).

A "law school girlfriend" is a young lady with a non-descript corporate job (i.e., she works in "sales," "PR," or "marketing") and dates a man attending a nearby top-tier law school. She has no actual redeeming qualities, save being very attractive and urban chic. She uses her looks and her pseudo-corporate job to impress the law student into dating her, with the hope that he will marry her once he graduates and begins making $200K a year.
Law Student 1: Yo, you met Dave's new girl, right? What did you think?
Law Student 2: She's pretty hot, and works downtown or something.
Law Student 1: Law school girlfriend?
Law Student 2: Totally.

Get the John Q Lawmug. Proposed by historians Sir Keeler Gonzales, Empress Mai Ton, and Archduke Sai Sriram in the early 21st century, on the campus of William Marsh Rice University, the law of conservation of grind states that the grind never stops but merely takes different forms. Grind takes three principle forms, potential grind, kinetic grind, and party grind ("grinding" grind as it is known outside of the intellectual community). Potential grind is given by the expression Mass x hours of sleep x g (the grind constant). g=69 grinds/sec^2. Kinetic grind is given by the expression (1/2)Pp^2. P=panic constant p= procrastination factor. Party grind is the inverse of kinetic grind, but can increase exponentially as given by dA/dt (alcohol over time). This Law has been widely accepted in the scientific and educational communities.
Person A: I need to rest, I've been working too hard today.
Person B: But A, I thought the grind never stops??
Person A: According to the law of conservation of grind, I am merely converting my kinetic grind into potential grind.
