All are quiet true. One that I dub, is the minute you sit down the phone will ring...happens every time.

Did you know that the modern bathtub was invented in 1850, but the telephone wasn't invented until 1876? If you had lived back then, you could've sat in the bathtub for 26 years without worrying about the phone ringing. :-)

"Wilson's Law:

There is an extention to Wilson's Law: As soon as you find a product that you really like, your local retail store will discontinue selling that product.

All my adult life I've tried products on my psoriasis and none of them worked until we found one this past year on a clearance isle. Once I tried it and was willing to buy more, they no longer sell it.

That's how it was with those mugs. I bought two and they stopped making 'em. There've been a lot of things like that.
