Sods law. Its a bug*er ain't it? Ever put a jumper on in the dark, and of course, the label is sticking in your face? Indeed, its a bit of an annoyance, and never seems to go away. So, in an attempt to clear all this up, I conducted a few experiments, just to see why and what it/happens to us all. And why it only affects certain people.
Test 1:
JUMPER DRESSING:
The aforementioned problem. I put 5 people in a room. Locked the door. Turned the light off. Told them to put their jumpers on (after taking them off). Of course, I opened the door after 5 minutes, to see two of them kissing, one crying in the corner, and the others proudly holding their labels. Parties are probably the wrong place to do this kind of test. Indeed. However, 3 of the 5 'guinea pigs' managed to find labels in front of their faces. So, Sods law seems to affect the majority of people.
Test 2:
BALL THROWING:
I took the guinea pigs outside, through the mess of the party, and told them each to throw a ball at a flower pot. After seveal attempts, they managed to successfully break the pot (not my party, so!) and then I called in some other mates. By now the two kissers were almost fornicating in front of our eyes, so I kicked them out. Then, I told the three remaining guinea pigs to throw balls. Not one hit, even after many attempts (I believe alcohol had no effect on them 'what-so-ever') Therefore, I concluded that Sods Law also seems to strike when in the presence of other people, particualrly ones of a higher social status than you (as testified by the treatment of the guinea pigs after the test!)
Test 3:
BREAD AND BUTTER:
In the by now nearly deserted kitchen, I lightly buttered three pieces of bread. I handed them round to the guinea pigs and then told them to drop them off the counter (after moving a semi-concious boy). They did so, and two of the pieces fell on the butter side down, therefore ruining that un-tempting snack. The other I promplty nabbed and munched down. I again concluded that Sods Law intends to destroy our snack eating oppurtunities at any chance, and also is again, seemingly random.
Test 4:
OPPOSITE SEX TEST:
This was the interesting one. After observing three especialy bold members of the opposite sex to each of the guinea pigs, I performed the test. The three 'others' had all been seen messing about with several members of their opposite sex. Therefore, I assumed, they would do the same with my guinea pigs. Not so. All 3 of my guinea pigs were rejected by the others. This again shows that Sods Law, only affects 'you' (but in contradictory terms, 'everybody') and that it also attempts to destroy any chance of a bit of, in my friends immortal term 'pafflin'.
Test 5:
THE SPECIAL ABILITY TEST:
In this case, the ever uncouth ability of 'downing'. This was a similar test to the Ball test, in that it again addresses the inability to do certain acts in the view of others. All three of my guinea pigs managed to down a pint of some God awful substance, and then we moved into the main party area. They all announced their intentions. Then all failed in the act, again re-inforcing my previous theory. Again, a few tradiotianl mocking jeers appeared, and by then my 3 guinea pigs had had enough. They mingled, and by the end of the night, had easily made up for their embarrassment. Indeed........
So what have I concluded. Nowt, thats what. Ah well. Try something adn yuo fail, even though you thought you could do it.
Sods Law I suppose.
Now wheres ma drink?..........

Alas, yes. Altho' last time I put on my jumper in the dark, I found it to be inside out. After sorting that out, I then managed to put it on back to front.
Such is my life...
