	proportion to his ability to actually do the work involved 

	Leftovers always expand to fill all available containers plus one 

	A newly washed window gathers dirt at twice the speed of an unwashed
	one 
	
	The availability of a ball-point pen is inversely proportional to how
	badly it is needed 

	The same clutter that will fill a one-car garage will fill a two-car
	garage 

	Three children plus two cookies equals a fight 

	The potential for disaster is in direct proportion to the number of TV
	remote-controls divided by the number of viewers 

	The number of doors left open varies inversely with the outside
	temperature

	The capacity of any water-heater is equal to one and a half sibling
	showers

	What goes up must come down, except bubble gum and slightly used
	cereal
