What a state with a deposit on beverage-containers unwittingly enacts upon itself by not adjusting the amount of said deposit in response to inflation.
Maine's five-cents-per-container deposit began in early 1977, and yet it's still only that exact same amount today --- yup, in well over FORTY YEARS, the amount of "green" that you get for recycling a soft-drink bottle or beer can hasn't gone up past just a nickel, even though a "Tommy disc" isn't worth nearly so much nowadays as it was "way back when"! It's no wonder, therefore, that fewer and fewer people are bothering to actually cash in their own drink-containers or pick up ones that litterbugs have tossed... sounds like da classic "law of diminishing returns" to me... yep, da state had originally voted in da returnable-bottle law in an effort to reduce waste and beautify our countryside, but nowadays our roadsides and parks are actually MORE cluttered than ever before!

Get the law of diminishing returns mug.In a recent public meetng regarding the freedom fighters in Hong Kong. China's leaders used the phrase "restore law and order" at least 100 times. Everyone in Hong Kong knows exactly what this means.

Get the restore law and order mug.Many people know of Godwin's Primary Law; as an arguement becomes more heated, the likely-hood of references to Nazi's and/or Hitler increases. His secondary law is that; as the likely-hood of Nazi's and/or Hitler being mentioned in a thread, in direct reference to his Primary law, increases, so to must the chances of his own law being referred to. This will usually have little effect on the actual thread and will merely result in minor lulz.

Get the Godwin's Second Law mug.Practice mistress you use during law school so that if your wife finds out you have nothing to lose as opposed to the real world mistress that you get once you are out of law school and making big money.
The law school mistress doesn't necessarily have to be up to your standards due to the fact that it is temporary and only practice for the real thing.

Get the law of gross tonage mug.If you have relations with a person, the combined total of pervasiveness is greater than twice the rate of a solitary member. If you have relations with a person, the combined total of pervasiveness is greater than twice the rate of either solitary member.
Person 1 attempts to have sex with Person 2. Person 1 says that Person 2 is perverted, thus, Person 1 is misguided and is clearly the more perverted.
