“Owen, what did you do?”

“Nothing!”

“Owen!”

“Honest Jack, all I did was flick the lever.”

“Then why did the coffee machine burst into flames?”

“Well, you know, Murphy’s Law and all that...”

“Murphy’s Law?”

“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible moment.”

“I’m more of a believer in Jack’s Law.”

“What’s Jack’s Law?”

“No one will ever be stupid enough to expect Jack to go without his morning coffee for fear of what he might do.”

“Ummm, Jack?”

“Yes, Owen?”

“How about I go pick you up some coffee?”

“That’s an excellent idea, Owen.”

Evil! My sister has a habit of doing that. I try to enforce the rule that the person to finish it buys the next jar.

that's a good rule. hubby would never be bothered following it though. He is, however, going out for coffee and donuts tomorrow morning (whether he knows it or not)
