Those kinda go hand in hand with the unwritten rules of war.
Never draw attention to yourself, it pisses off the people around you!
Never fight next to someone braver than you.
The only thing more accurate than enimy fire is friendly fire.
See the guy with the shiny thing on his hat and the guy with the radio on his back? Stay away from them!
Dont give the enimy something to shoot at!
Dont stand infront of the guy with the big arse machine gun!
Never stand infront or behind the guy with the rocket launcher!
hehe Got a whole list of those somewhere.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!! *wipes tear from eye*
(Just kidding! Love ya' Durbs! )
Ray...
MURHPY'S LAWS OF COMBAT
1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.
2. Incoming fire has the right of way.
3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
4. There is always a way.
5. The easy way is always mined.
6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
7. Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.
8. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:
a. when you're ready for them.
b. when you're not ready for them.
9. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
10. If you can't remember, then the claymore is pointed at you.
11. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
12. A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down.
13. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
14. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
15. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.
16. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
17. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
18. If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.
19. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
20. Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.

Always offer the last tim tam to someone else.
Dont help yourself to other people's toiletries/makeup/delicacies lying around even if you think they wont notice. They do.
Dont let my cds get scratched please for the love of god.
Remember spliff politics, even with your best buddies! It's toke, toke, pass...
Remember when it's your shout. And buy drinks of equivalent value that I have given you.
Say sorry if you step on someones toe/bump them/spill something on them.
Do not play depressing angry stuff on a comedown in the company of others unless theyre into it too.
Do not look at someone like they are an idiot if they don't hear you properly the first time.
Learn good phone manners, don't just say "hi, is x there?"
I could go on and on...

Hey MikeGinny(Lightning) when I read your list of Murphy's Laws of Combat I couldn't help but notice it is VERY similar to the USMC's Murray's Laws of Combat. Although you did get most of them that are found on mine and a few that weren't on mine,there were a few left out such as:
1.You are not superman
2.If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid
3.No plan survives the first contact intact
4.All five-second grenade fuses will burn down in three seconds
5.If you are forward of your position,the artillary will fall short
6.The important things are always simple
7.The simple things are always hard
8.When you have secured an area don't forget to tell the enemy
9.No combat ready unit has EVER passed inspection
10.Beer math is:two beers times 37 men=49 cases
11.Things that must be together to work,usually can't be shipped together
12.Radio's will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately
13.Tracers work both ways!
14.The only thing that is more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire
15.If you take more than your fair share of objectives,you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take
16.When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose,they are both right
AND LAST BUT I'M SURE NOT LEAST IS:
17.When in doubt empty your magazine

Some of these I disagree with.
For instance, Never take a crap at someone else's house. Any visitors can feel free to use my toilet as nature intended. If you've need to go then you've got to go. Not to is unhealthy.
Raiding a friends fridge is strictly forbidden, even if you do have chronic munchies. My fridge is open to raiding whenever anyone's hungry. However, I am not a destitute student with only basic rations to live on (who, strangely, can't afford more food but can afford to buy unlimited beer/grass/hash ) and I can understand the difference.
Here's one of my own.
* If you use the last bit of toilet paper get another roll out or let the host know there's none left.

This is a fun thread, Heres my contribution:
===-=-=----=====-=-=-=-=====-=-=-==-==-====-=-=
Never shit on your own door step.
Never piss into the wind.
If it's not broken, don't try and fix it.
"I was drunk" does not excuse you.
Never call yourself an expert because an ex is a has-been and a spurt is a drip under pressure.
Always give her a pillow to bite.
Just because it's your 'Time of the month' it doesn't mean that I want to die..........just you.
Just because it's cute and cuddly doesn't mean that it won't try and kill you as soon as you fall asleep.
If you wear two left shoes, you won't walk around in circles, You'll just look stupid.
If you pull a silly face and the wind blows, it won't stick, but you may well get crapped on by a bird.
Saying "Why", "Why", "Why" after everything someone says, will not help you to learn more, it will however get your noise broken.
If your wife suggests that you pay for her to have plastic surgery to keep her feeling young.........Smile, Nod your head and agree.
Then wipe that smile off her face by cutting your credit card in half and asking "There, feel any younger"?????
Patients is not a virtue, it's a waste of time.
Chivalry is not another form of chilblains.
Never walk into a hardware store and ask for a left handed hammer.
A Japs eye can be found outside of the Orient.
Pretending to be gay can be a real pain in the arse
Teaching your granny to suck eggs is potentially fatal.
Good girls ALWAYS swallow.
LOL

First of all...ease up on the sex talk. Remember we posted the cutting back of that and swearing? Substitution phrase such as "Ice cream" for sex are acceptible.
~Never eat off someone else's plate unless they offer or you are sure they are done.
~Never congratulate a woman on her pregnancy unless she is wearing a baby on board t-shirt or some othe indicative clothing.
~When going to toss salt over your left shoulder, make sure no one is standing behind you (it burns the eyes)
~If you don't know the sex of the baby by the clothing/name or any other obvious method of identification, don't say anything about how cute s/he is.
~If someone has a tape/file about that you think is blank...ask before you tape/write over it, pleeeeease. (Lost a great tape once that way)
~Knock the snow off your boots before you enter my house fully, especially if it is colored yellow or any shade of brown.

yep, got to agree with Thistle - use my loo, eat my food, and drink my tea all you like. Just replace the roll when used, and make me a tea when you make yourself one as well

~ Girlfriends/Boyfriends are not verbal scratching posts
~ A "Dirty Sanchez" is not a funny party trick
~ Spiking someone's drink is soooooooo wrong
~ Always show consideration to someone throwing a whitey, we've all been there
~ Don't drop someones white/day glo props in a muddy puddle

That was it, I was a mess...
Everytime I looked at him I would just snort...and start laughing again
We eventually became very good friends once he got used to my sense of humor...

This is a very funny thread!! I like it!!
-NEVER get Turkish revenge on your best friend!! They ALWAYS get you back!!
(To all those that don't know what Turkish revenge is, it's when you stab someone in the bum with something pointy!!)

~There is nobody more special then the friends you already have
~Creativity is an open mind to life's experiences, not just the drawing you did last night
~If you plan on tokin', be sure to bring some to share
And Durbs, gotta say one of my sexiest friends plays the accordian like a mad woman...

I don't know much about life, but here's some rules for writers I keep near my desk:
1. Laern two spel
2. Avoid alliteration. Always.
3. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
4. Don't use no double-negatives
5. Remember to never split an infinitive
6. Contractions aren't necessary
7. Avoid clishes like the plague
8. Exaggeration is a zillion times worse than understatement
9. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
10. Finally, always proofread your work, in case you words out.

Dance like it hurts; Love like you need money; Work like someone is watching.
Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

~ Why use one word when superfluous adjectives suffice?
FYI - A "whitey", most often encountered when mixing alcohol and skunk, the person goes white/grey, their head spins madly and nothing is more appealing than a dark place with a bed. Not pleasant and seemingly strike at random
Anyway, back on topic:
~ Never roach a friends Rizla packet unless you ask. A paper is one thing, a roach is another
