Murphy and the rule of irony.
I picked this of the ABC news – made me smile; it also brings home just how mankind's puny efforts can be so easily undone – for the sake of a nail etc.
ABC - "There was some damage caused by the guttering and the roof overflowing, and collapsing a small part of the ceiling," he said. "It was caused by a footy ball stuck in the guttering."
Engineers, architects, 'safety' departments, builders the whole lot, involved in constructing the 'safest' possible buildings, designed to withstand the ravages of a cyclone – buggered by a stray football in a gutter. Makes you wonder though - don't it. Aye. "Man proposes, Murphy disposes" (P7's version).
Toot – toot.
