Get the finance lawmug. As Wilford Brimley continues to appear in a movie or tv show, the probability of a reference to"diabeetus" by an audience member will approach and surpass .5, greater than likely.
Brimley's Law was confirmed during a playing of The Natural on AMC when Wilford Brimley first appeared in the dugout scene. Anecdotal evidence supporting the development of Brimley's Law II was observed when a viewer mentioned how much younger Brimley is than all of his characters.

Get the Brimley's Lawmug. The feeling of self righteousness that someone gets when they believe they have won a debate, when in reality, their opposition didn't want to participate in conversation.
O'Driscoll, "the earth is flat, I can prove it"
Opposition, **shakes head and walks away for fear of wasting time trying to explain common sense to someone whose already advertised that they are out to lunch**
O'Driscoll then feels as though the person had no contest, no debate, no facts, and no backbone to stand up for yourself.
When in reality, the audience just didn't want to bother educating someone so far behind in sense.
This can also be applied to the situation where someone challenging another person to a fight, is met with reluctance and they attribute it to how strong or intimidating they must be, when in reality, no one wanted to fight them as it's a barbaric act.
O'Driscoll's law is being so ignorant towards your perception of why you're being avoided, that you attribute people avoiding you to your intelligence or other positive characteristics.

Get the O'Driscoll's lawmug. Someone who utilizes the "reliable" bad-luck-causing syndrome of Murphy's Law by actually turning it his own benefit or that of his friends. Extra points if these other folks actually hire him for pay to "suffer on their behalf".
One excellent example of a Murphy's Law opportunist would be someone who hangs out his laundry to dry on an occasion when rain is desired.

Get the co-grandniece-in-lawmug. States that if one has more than on lasagna stacked in a vertical manner, then one still has one lasagna.
Edward's equation:
1L+NL=1L; where N=number of lasagnas
Edward's equation:
1L+NL=1L; where N=number of lasagnas
How my mom made 5 lasagnas but she put them on top of each other so by using Edward's Law I still only have one lasagna.
