Trivia TIme:
Captain Aluisys (spelling) Murphy was a Systems Analyst for the USAF in
the late 1950's. After a particularly stupid accident involving a blown
up rocket chair and a piece of equipment that had been jammed on upside
down, he was heard to mutter "Jeeze. If you give them a chance to do it
wrong, they will."
The colonel that was sitting in the chair at the time overheard this
remark and dubbed it Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong, it will go
wrong.
I understand that Captain Murphy is still alive and is working as a
Systems Analyst even today.
So that leads to MY favorite saying: Murphy is a programmer.
