[GCFL-discuss] Various Laws, Rules, Corollaries, Etc.

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

Frank, I've been reading up from the end of the list to catch some I
never got to on the way down. A few are from known sources:

Jacquin's Postulate: 
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in
session. 

This was originally said by Mark Twain.

Sausage Principle: 
People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one
being made. 

This is a slight expansion on Bismarck's remark "Nobody should see how
laws or sausages are made." He should know. It is not clear whether he
respected or liked either one, although he ate sausages, and made and
enforced laws.

I believe the Menckens are actually from H.L. Mencken.

Hurewitz's Memory Principle: 
The chance of forgetting something is directly proportional to
..... to .....
........ uh .............. 

I don't know where that came from, but it exemplifies The Peddlar's 
Retort:

The first half of an analogy is always easier than the second, in which
it resembles life, but not of course love.
