Murphy's Law

Do you know Murphy's Law? Most of you do. I think is relatively known over here. For some who may not know its definition is the following:
"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".

From this -pesimistic- statement there are thousand ways to say it, some in a quite funny way. One of this is: "if a toast with jam and butter spread over falls on the floor it's always the jam side the one sticking to it".

Why I brought Murphy's Law about? Because this sort of determinism happened to me just this week. I decided to by book no.3 (Adventures of English) according to Felicity's list. My decision was very strong. I like sciences and linguistics are part of science. Thus I felt that book by far suited very well my own interest. Now Mr. Murphy came into play. I went to Alibri, Casa del Libro and Come in. Guess what happened. The book is not in stock anywhere and Come in told me a delivery delay of three weeks minimum!

I gave up my expectations and I got Jeremy Paxman's "The English", which seems to be written in a language level very suited for any of us. I'm fine with this book.

See you when again?, Mr. Murphy...!
