Hugh Downs’ Four Rules for Investigating the Universe: Rule 1 – When confronted with an apparent infinite or infinitely repeating pattern, expect some variant that keeps it from being infinite. Rule 2 – When all investigation supports Rule 1, look for a situation which violates it. Rule 3 – Be prepared for an infinite oscillation between Rules 1 and 2. Rule 4 – Apply Rule 1.

This one’s your turn”. Your boss is standing behind you. It’s his wife.While your boss is at lunch, you sneak in and look at some confidential information on his computer. You spill coffee on the keyboard. It shorts out.You return from a week’s vacation to find that you had scheduled *this* week as vacation, not last week.You take a “sick” day. The next morning the boss asks you, “So, how was the fishing on Rock Creek yesterday?”.You wake up hung over. You have a black eye and barked knuckles. You’re in jail. Last night was the company Christmas party.

Stress relief
One day at the office, Joe was sitting at his desk working. His co-worker Frank walks in and notices that Joe is not feeling well.
“What’s wrong Joe”, asks Frank.
“I’m all stressed out, my head is killing me.”
“You want to know what I do when I need relief from stress?”, suggests Frank. “I go home, tell my wife to lie on the bed, then I rest my head on her chest. Give it try, it works great!”
Joe then takes a break. An hour later he returns to work totally refreshed with a smile on his face.
“You look alot better, did you try what I told you?”, asked Frank.
“I sure did, thanks!”, responded Joe. “By the way, you have a nice apartment.”
