Universal Laws From Sunil Bali's Blog Site:
- Law of Mechanical Repair – After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you will have to pee.
- Law of Gravity – Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, 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 Random Numbers – If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.
- Law of the Alibi – If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tyre, the very next morning you will have a flat tyre.

- Law of bio mechanics – The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
- Law of the Concert, Theatre & Sports Arena – At any event, the people whose seats are farthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies, and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.

- Murphy’s Law of Lockers – If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

- Law of Logical Argument – Anything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about.
- Brown’s Law of Physical Appearance – If the clothes fit, they’re ugly.
- Oliver’s Law of Public Speaking – A closed mouth gathers no feet.
- Wilson’s Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy – As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.
- Doctors’ Law – If you don’t feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you’ll feel better. But don’t make an appointment, and you’ll stay sick.
