Nana's are Beautiful

Law of High Heels
The minute you wear high heels to work you are assured that your car will break down 5 miles from your house, at night, on the hottest day of the year.

Law of Hair-do and Make Up
The moment you apply hurricane hairspray and make-up after not wearing any for years your car's a/c is sure to break, leaving you sit in 120 degree melty face heat and wind that would rival the NASA air tunnel test. Arriving at work looking similar to a long haired raccoon who played in her mother's makeup.

Law of White Pants
Wear them today and you KNOW someone will bring their drooling, smelly, hasn't had a bath in a year, dirty labrador retriever to work, drink from the toilet and make nice with your lap.

Law of Dropping
The days you can bend over to pick something up you dropped nothing will hit the floor, the days you can't bend over to zip your pants EVERYTHING will hit the floor.

Law of Lunch
The office phone will not ring until you open your sandwhich and then everyone who has picked up the phone all morning long will automatically point to you and say YOU are the secretary.

Law of Fishing
Your poles could surive an F5 tornado fishing line in tact, but take it outside the back door and cast off the deck of your home ONE time to test it and you'll end up restringing the entrie spool. Also see multitudes of fish jumping out of the water, set up camp there, drop a line in the water - immediately the fish will go to the spot you were originally at and you won't catch diddly.

Law of Nails
Nails could be left unpainted, uncared for and be longer than a grizzly's claws. Buff them, paint them and you'll chip, crack, break at least one a day.

Law of Sippy Cup
Any sippy cup full of fruit punch that could endure the wrath of a pit bull and never leak a drop, given to a toddler will certainly empty it's entire contents in your first brand new car upholstery.

Stars Law
Whatever it is you need at that moment you WILL NOT HAVE, there won't be one within miles/days. When you don't need whatever you needed when you needed it but didn't have it will be there in SPADES when you don't need it and more than likely cause you a ridiculous amount of work to put it someplace that you can get to it when you think you will need it.

Law of the Work place Bathroom
No one will go into that bathroom until YOU think "I have to go." Then every man in the office will head to one of 2 bathrooms in the building with a paper tucked under his arm.

And then there is

Handbag physics
When you only have one hand free with which to root around in your purse, the one thing you're desperately seeking will immediately plunge to the bottom of your purse, and hide under the rest of the contents.

Law of White Pants, part 2
The day you wear white pants to the office, is the day you will run headlong into the person who has just heated up spaghetti with marinara sauce in the office microwave. All of it will stick to your pants.

Trinity's Law of Floaty Summer Garments
Always (and I mean ALWAYS) wear...erm..."full coverage" foundation garments on the day you choose to wear a lightweight peasant skirt to the office. Because after a trip to the ladies' room, chances are you WILL have part of the skirt tucked into the back of your knickers, with all the chaos that ensues. And the fabric is too lightweight for you to notice.
(Yes, this IS the voice of experience talking...sigh)

And today ------

Law of the sleveless dress shirt

Did you forget to shave or do you have a wookie under your arm? And - that bra you have on isn't the one you wear for work - it's worn, frayed and the straps are not white. Sigh - :surprise: Runs to corner store and buys Tshirt.....no one even pretends to notice

Did I miss the Mechanic's Law? Whatever noise your car is making while you drive it will not present itself for the mechanic who might be able to fix it.

Maybe it's me, but I am having difficulty relating to the laws regarding handbags, bras, and floaty summer garments.


But you CAN relate to the Wookie under the armpit law so that technically gives you an advantage over the rest of the clean shaven women here.
