A term that originated from Godwin's Law, Obama's Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that somebody will blame Obama. When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Obama's Law has effectively forfieted the argument.
"Hey did you see that car wreck the other day?"
"Yeah I did, thanks a lot Obama."
"It wasn't Obama's fault."
"Well, that's Obama's Law."
"Yeah I did, thanks a lot Obama."
"It wasn't Obama's fault."
"Well, that's Obama's Law."

"No matter where you stand, da breeze will invariably blow either towards you or in your face, causing you great difficulty in proceeding ahead and/or "cleanly"/effectively performing tasks dat involve/include vapors/particulates/liquids." (Think, Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke, or trying to bicycle someplace on a blustery day and da stiff wind keeps switching around so dat it's always hinderingly in your face --- never helpfully at your back --- both on your way to your destination AND on your way back home again!)
P.S. Oh yeah --- and don't even **consider** simply postponing outdoor activities till a "still spell" --- DAT will only mean multitudes of mosquitoes and black flies to torment you and make you WISH for a breeze!

Two classic examples of da infuriating effects of Murphy's Law Of Wind-Direction would be (1) trying to water your hanging-basket plants on da front porch, but da watering-can's sprinkled droplets keep blowing backwards so dat da water both largely misses your plants and gets you soaking-wet, and (2) trying to employ toss-across collecting when gathering returnables along da highway, but having many of da thrown containers just blow right back onto your side of da road.

Player 1: Man, that dude's eyebrows are going everywhere! he's even doing the wave!

Jens Petersen: "Erneut greift übrigens Petersen's Law. Das Team das spät den Ausgleich erzielt verliert wahrscheinlicher am Ende trotzdem als dass es gewinnt. Denke so ist es grammatikalisch perfekt formuliert."
