Milton's Law
"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, but only when Milton is watching."
Explanation:
Milton's Law posits that the presence of an observer named Milton—or someone who embodies Milton's unlucky aura—dramatically increases the probability of failure in any given scenario. This law suggests that even events with a low likelihood of error are susceptible to catastrophic outcomes when under Milton's watchful gaze.
Corollary to Murphy’s Law: While Murphy’s Law predicts failure as a general inevitability, Milton’s Law suggests failure is conditional, triggered specifically by Milton’s presence.

Applications:
1. Psychological Influence: Individuals may experience heightened anxiety or pressure when being observed, particularly by Milton, exacerbating the likelihood of mistakes.
2. Statistical Anomalies: Systems, machines, or processes appear to fail at an unreasonably high rate when Milton is nearby, regardless of prior reliability.
3. Practical Implications: Milton's Law serves as a humorous yet cautionary reminder of human fallibility under scrutiny. It is invoked to explain unexpected failures in otherwise routine tasks.

3. Vote
4. Drive
5. Leave their designated area

Towels are subhuman filth.

Thanks to Towel Law, the towel was punished sternly by the whip for attempting to write a book about how to drive, against Amy Schumer's vagina's wishes. It was quickly rolled into a makeshift dildo-tampon and shoved back in. Amy Schumer stopped menstruating a long time ago, so don't worry. It's just super sweaty and gross.
