Murphys more one liners



  • If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
  • You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
  • People are always available for work in the past tense.
  • If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
  • At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
  • When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
  • You will always get the greatest recognition for the job you least like.
  • No one gets sick on Wednesdays.


  • When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, 'How would the Lone Ranger handle this?'
  • The longer the title, the less important the job.
  • Machines that have broken down will work perfectly when the repairman arrives.
  • An 'acceptable' level of employment means that the government economist to whom it is acceptable still has a job.
  • Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
  • All vacations and holidays create problems, except for one's own.
  • Success is just a matter of luck, just ask any failure.
