The Universal Laws of "It"

Post by Tequila Revenge »

I was in a seminar last week when the speaker made a statement, "If you can measure it an engineer can improve it." My mind starting racing about the laws of "it."

1- If you can measure it an engineer can improve it.
2- If you can measure it a capitalist can sell it.
3- If you can measure it a politician can tax it.
4- If you can measure it a bureaucrat can regulate it.

can anyone come up with more of these?

If you can measure it, the cat/dog will shed on it.

If you can measure it, a Parrothead can drink it
If you can measure it, a spouse can spend it
If you can measure it, and it's been more than 4 hours, call your doctor

If you can VOTE for CHANGE, thats all you will have left in your pocket
Did you hear the one about me being a punk?
Did you hear the one about me being a drunk?
Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another f**** sheep in the herd?
Did you hear the one about me giving a s***?
Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

If you say it, it will happen...ie. you you say something won't happen at work, it usually will.

If you start a thread about "it", someone will try to make some pointless, brain-dead political jibe.

It's not about the destination, it's about how many rest rooms there are along the journey.
