More Murphy's Law 101
Here are some of Murphy's Military Laws found in previous issues of Evil Pasta:

• If your advance is going well, you are walking into an ambush.
• The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
• If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
• The only time suppressive fire works is when it is used on abandoned positions.
• The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
• There is nothing more satisfying that having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
• Don't be conspicuous. In the combat zone, it draws fire. Out of the combat zone, it draws sergeants.
• If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
• Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
• No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
• Friendly fire ain't.
• The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.
• The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already mined it.
• The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.
• The further you are in advance of your own positions, the more likely your artillery will shoot short.
• Incoming fire has the right of way.

The following is an extension of Murphy's Law 101 found in previous issues of Evil Pasta:

• If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
• Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
• If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
• If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
• Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
• It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
• Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.

• Murphy's Constant: Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value.
• Murphy's Law of Copiers: The legibility of a copy is inversely proportional to its importance.
• Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics: Things get worse under pressure.
• Corollary of Inverse Distances: The farther away from the entrance that you have to park, the closer the space vacated by the car that pulls away as you walk up to the door.
• Approval Seeker's Law: Those whose approval you seek the most give you the least.
• Law of Civilization: It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be coming up it.
• Army Axiom: Any order that can be misunderstood has been misunderstood.
• Army Law: If it moves, salute it; if it doesn't move, pick it up; if you can't pick it up, paint it.
• Consumer's Rule: Never decide to buy something while listening to the salesman.
• Newspaper Obituary Law: If you want your name spelled wrong, die.
• Comment on Power and Influence: Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
• Astrology Law: It's always the wrong time of the month.
• Rule of Accuracy: When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps if you know the answer… provided, of course, that you know there is a problem.
• The Pyramid Progression: The probability of a young man meeting a desirable and receptive young female increases by pyramidal progression when he is already in the company of (1) a date, (2) his wife, and (3) a better looking and richer male friend.
• Rule of Medicine: Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
