Is that idiot Murphy still alive?

After being put into that robot body, I am sure he is functionally immortal.
Also, do not try to punch him. He has a nasty retractable spike in his fist.

He moved to the food business, now is known for his salads and cole slaw. He even trademarked the name:

“Murphy’s Slaw”.

I heard poor Murph died when he fell through a window, while trying to stop his sainted mum from defenestrating his weed. :(

Murphy rules that whatever line I get on at the supermarket or store like Walmart will be the slowest line. Slow cashier, or customer in front will have some kind of problem, like something won’t have a price on it or their credit card won’t work.

Ditto that @jca2 Either that, or it’s rush hour with a thousand customers, and on cashier on duty. And usually when I’m in a hurry to get somewhere else.

So it’s decided Murphy has to die?

Back in my bachelorette days, I think I may have dated Murphy, and perhaps a few of his brothers. I recall a few relationships that went completely wrong.

@jca2 @Nomore_lockout That is not Murphy in action. It is queuing theory in action.

Here is a discussion about Queuing Theory .

Isaac has a corollary to Murphy’s law: Murphy was an optimist. Notice I said was.

Interesting article about queing theory, @LuckyGuy. I like the serpentine idea a lot!

I was on a serpentine line once and a lady jumped ahead to the next open cashier. Needless to say, I went off on her.

He lives in every man, woman, and child the world over. And it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

@Blackwater_Park That quote is never quoted in full. The entire quote should read:

Murphy was an optimist. R.I.P.

“Dead or alive, you’re coming with me.”
