Readers know the natural law, "When a body is immersed in water the phone rings." I now have, thanks to James Clarke's Stoep Talk column, published in The Star newspaper, a new set of these natural laws...
· Law of the workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
· Law of probability: The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
· Law of close encounters: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.
· Law of result: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.
· Law of biomechanics: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
· Law of logical argument: Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
· Oliver's law: A closed mouth gathers no feet.
