Eluliselt olulised paberid tõestavad oma elulisust, liikudes sealt, kuhu te nad jätsite, sinna, kust te neid ei leia.

Eestikeelsed Murphy seadused leiad näiteks siit kogumikust ja sellest kogumikust.

Tublid tegijad, kes on viitsinud need kokku koguda. Au ja kuulsus ja sügav kummardus! 

Kõik head on juba ära võetud.

Kui mõni ei ole ära võetud, on sel oma põhjus (järeldus esimesest).
