How about,

"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck."

That one already has itself covered. It's probably a duck.

You know what they say: "The exception proves the rule."

Here are some of Murphy's laws (there are more than one, donchaknow) ...

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Every task expands to fill the available time.

It's easier to volunteer to do something than it is to stop doing it after you volunteered.

And the tweaker's motto:
If you keep fixing something, sooner or later, you'll break it.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Did anyone happen to see "Stupid animal tricks" on Letterman last night?

This brought to mind-

"If there's one thing I've learned, it's that learnin' never taught me nothin'"

which reminds me of a man who said-" I've taught him everything I know and he still don't know nothin'".
