<no matter where you go, there you are>

	All you people who know about the 'real' Murphy and his Law,
how would you like your knowledge to be preserved forever in the
Folklore Archives of the University of California? 
	The background: I am taking a course in anthropology where
we are required to collect items of folklore, such as Murphy's Law, 
and try to determine where and when they were heard and thus
to ultimately determine their origin (and possibly their deep
philosophical meaning).
	I would really be happy if anyone who has heard of
the real Murphy and his Law(s) would send me the following information:

	any details about Murphy and his Laws
	where you heard these details
	when you heard about them
	who you are:
			name, address, age, background (ethnic and/or
				occupational, as relevant)
	

note: please do not tell me something that you read in a book.
	that doesn't count...


			to the future of folklore,

					thanks,
