LOL! That last one reminds me that I worked with a man at Oklahoma
State who coined a saying unique enough that it made the Murphy's Law
daily calendar -- sorta: If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it
needed replacing anyway.
It gets printed as the saying for February 29.

Chuckle, chuckle. Cool. I like that one. Guess we all know a couple
of
those types.
When I am trying to fix some old piece of junk or another, my wife often
tells me "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear." (like I
really
wanted a silk purse, didn't I?) That makes me feel about as handy as a
left
handed monkey wrench. Then there is the tire on the tractor "that is
flatter than a Flounder" (certain adjective omitted) . While we are at
it,
"don't force it, get a bigger hammer".
