More Laws of Selective Gravitation. <br /><br />A falling object will always land where it can do the most damage. <br /><br />A shatterproof object will always fall on the only surface hard enough to crack or break it. <br /><br />A paint drip will always find the hole in the newspaper and land on the carpet underneath (and will not be discovered until it has dried). <br /><br />A dropped power tool will always land on the concrete instead of the soft ground (if outdoors) or the carpet (if indoors) - unless it is running, in which case it will fall on something it can damage (like your foot). <br /><br />If a dish is dropped while removing it from the cupboard, it will hit the sink, breaking the dish and chipping or denting the sink in the process. <br /><br />A valuable dropped item will always fall into an inaccessible place (a diamond ring down the drain, for example) - or into the garbage disposal while it is running. <br /><br />If you use a pole saw to saw a limb while standing on an aluminum ladder borrowed from your neighbor, the limb will fall in such a way as to bend the ladder before it knocks you to the ground. <br /><br />If you pick up a chunk of broken concrete and try to pitch it into an adjacent lot, it will hit a tree limb and come down right on the driver's side of your car windshield.
