Murphy's Law

SCENARIO:

You decide to wear your comfortable-looking, brand new linen pants for your 9 hour drive home.

You get a flat tire.

New linen pants are covered in tire juice & some random blue stuff that might have come from the crushed vial of Crayola paint near your miraculously flat tire.

RESULTS:

According to Murphy's Law, if you and your mother can argue about how to treat & wash new linen pants, inevitably, you and your mother will argue about the pants.
