I found these here... http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/4610/murphy.html and thought I would share them.

I've seen that a few times over the years. Always good for a laugh.

The probability of receiving a run increases proportionally to the time elapsed since last going to the Bathroom.

I was discussing JUST this rule with a new trainee last night.... Then we got to the ED, transferred Pt. care, I ran to bathroom, and after finishing up (when we were all but ready to go) pointed him in the direction of the bathroom. I got out to the truck with the other 2 crewmembers and we started to leave. MDT goes off. We go responding to 2nd call in district for someone doing the tuna, and as we arrive I (in back) get asked where the ride-along went to. I said I guess he's still using the bathroom - Oops .
