    I have one to add:
    The law of red lights and bikes: Pulling your water bottle out of the cage to have a drink at a red light will cause the light to become green- just as you manage to start to take a drink.

    try it sometime - this always works with the more finicky lights....

    Those are all absolute facts. Here's one more:

    The Law of the Doctor's Office: By the time you get to your doctor's appointment, your symptoms will no longer be observable. Corollary: The next day, or possibly even later that afternoon, the symptoms will return.

    The LBS Peter Principal: By 2 pm, every tool in the shop will be in someone's pocket.

    Then you have two choices: (1) if you can see the tool you want, lift it directly from the appropriate pocket (however, fishing expeditions are not allowed), or (2) declare loudly "We've reached the Peter Principal. Everyone empty your pockets." It used to really make some of the guys jump when I would lift a tool right out of their pockets. But no one ever lifted tools from my pockets.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    Slinke - Thanks for posting - that is so true and funny.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
