Development Guidelines

The following was written as a guideline for work in a highly technical research and development group where I once worked.  The guidelines were established through diligence and many late nights in the field.  Your use of these guidelines is strongly recommended to simplify and streamline your workload.

BINK'S Commentary: Murphy was an optimist.
Bax'S Observation: The other line always moves faster.
SPITLER'S Law: When the plane you are on is late, the plane you want to transfer to is on time.
WILSON'S Principle: The probability of meeting a desirable and receptive young female increases by pyramidal progression when you are already in the company of (1) a date, (2) your wife, (3) a better looking and richer male friend.
SPITLER'S First Corollary: The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the suit you are wearing.
ZIEMSKI'S Law of Unreliability: Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable.
SPITLER'S Second Corollary: A clean tie attracts the soup of the day.
GRAFF'S Grumble: The one day you would sell your soul for something, souls are a glut on the market.
ELLIOT'S Epistle: No matter where you go, there you are.
MACFALL'S Rule: For purposes of knocking on wood, the world consists of vinyl and aluminum.
BRANSTETTER'S Lament: No overall dimension can be totalled correctly after 4:40 p.m. on Friday.
BRANSTETTER'S Corollary: The correct total will become self-evident at 9:01 a.m. Monday.
BAX'S Law: All machines are amplifier.
HILL'S Second Law: Anything can be made to work if you fiddle with it long enough.
DILBERT'S First Law: If you mess with a thing long enough, it'll break.
JOHNSON'S Law: Any wire cut to length will be too short.
PERRY'S Principle: A man without a woman is like a fish without a bicycle.
RASSA'S Lament: All the good ones are taken.
BOGART'S Commentary: If if appears that several things which could have gone wrong have not gone wrong, it is because it would have been ultimately beneficial for them to have gone wrong.
