the laws that really matter

These are the laws that should be remembered AT ALL TIMES. They won't be any help during the bar but still...
LAWS OF INEVITABILITY

LAW OF MECHANICAL REPAIR
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch or you'll have to pee.

LAW OF THE WORKSHOP
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

LAW OF PROBABILITY
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

LAW OF THE TELEPHONE
If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.

LAW OF THE ALIBI
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

VARIATION LAW
If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will start to
move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

LAW OF THE BATH
When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

LAW OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

LAW OF THE RESULT
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

LAW OF BIOMECHANICS
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

LAW OF THE THEATER
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

LAW OF COFFEE
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

LAW OF LOCATION
No matter where you go, there you are.

LAW OF LOGICAL ARGUMENT
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

oblicon for dummies

dean navarro: pag isa ang sira-ulo, voidable ang contract. pag parehong parties ang siraulo, unenforceable ang contract.

claire: nikki, pag tayo ang nag-contract, ano yun?
kaima: unenforceable.
claire: pag tinanong yan sa bar, tatawa talaga ako.

note: 1 siraulo (si claire lang) = voidable
2 siraulo (nanghawa si claire) = unenforceable.

welcome back, claire. we missed our clown (dapat discounted ang boyoyong charge ha).

estopped

estoppel in pais - according to dean albano... it's when you don't speak when you should have and you speak when you shouldn't.

estoppel by laches - again, according to dean albano, the failure to exercise a right after a number of years.

i've been estopped many many times before

Re: Twinkerbellor-- Petition for Change of Name

Exchange of text messages late at night...

Pambie: Naka-mutuum ang electric fan ni zern sakin.
Nikki: Pamela, what is mutuum?
Pambie: Ma'am can I just recite on bellor and belly?
Nikki: Twinkerbellor and twinkerbelly. Yan ang itatawag ko kay tuning.
Pambie: Sya si twinkerbellor, ikaw si twinkerbelly. hehehe
Nikki: Di ba meron pa akong petition for change of name?
Pambie: Wahehe. Ipa-set mo na for hearing yung petition mo with TRO to refrain from using the name in public.


But a TRO lasts only for 20 days. I need to go to the Supreme Court to make it last until further orders.
Still, now we have a new name.

Problem is: I don't know my way to the Supreme Court.

Motion to amend previous blog

After including the classic "Hiram" in my blog playlist (refer to previous blog Classic Poli Moments), I have realized that I have been singing the wrong words all along. The chorus goes

Di ba, ako'y tao lang na nadadarang at natutukso rin...

Please accept the line as my apology for the wrong lyrics. Although I have no idea what nadadarang means so instead of singing something undefined in my world, I will sing my own version...

Di ba, ako'y tao lang na nangangarag at natutukso rin...
Di ba, ako'y tao lang na nawiwindang at natutukso rin...

Take your pick.

Petition for Change of Name

This is hearsay, inadmissible in any proceeding for any purpose.

Kai and Pambie were walking behind Tuning:
Kai: Tuning! Tuning! Tuning! (Tuning ignores her so she finally calls Tuning by his real name)
Tuning: (turns around) Ako ba tinatawag mo?
Kai: Kanina pa 'no. Pero pag tinawag kitang pogi di ka na magiisip, lilingon ka nalang kagad.
Tuning laughs.

We need a new codename.
