Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear

"If you 'prepare for the worst' by bringing along extra jackets/gloves, an umbrella, etc., then the skies will be sunny and mild all the time you're 'out 'n' about'. But if you decide to leave all that stuff behind at home and set out on your trip in just your ordinary street-clothes, there'll be a bleepin' MONSOON or HURRICANE!
The morning started out kinda overcast and nippy, so I brought an umbrella, thick hoodie-jacket, and gloves with me when I set out to run some errands around town. Well, naturally, once I got a fair distance from home and thus I didn't wanna traipse all the way back to put everything away again, the sun came out and the day got really warm, and so I was just feverishly lugging all that extra stuff around with me for nothing... classic case of "Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear", I guess.

Kingaroy Gear Shift

A freaky and highly inadvisable sex move originating from the rural roads of Kingaroy, Queensland. It involves one partner crouching like a busted traffic cone while the other, wearing strictly hi-vis, shifts between "gears” through the act of fisting and imagining you’re operating a manual vehicle.

Traditionally performed in front of the Kingaroy Main Roads department as a means of ‘intimidation’. Not to be confused with the Neurum Creek Gear Shift.
“Do you know if Jimmy passed his driving test today?”
“No, he failed,”
“Oh well, get shifty. Its Kingaroy Gear Shift time.”
