Cole's Law - and other signs I've been working too much recently

Happened to notice a thread that mentioned Cole’s Law. Puzzled me for a moment. I’ve heard of Megan’s Law and similar laws enacted in memory of other victims of crime.

Cole was a new one to me, however, and I was racking my brain trying to think who Cole was and what horrible thing had happened to him, warranting a law in his honour.

Then I thought, “why is a legal thread in Café Society?”

Then I thought, “ohhh!” :smack:

Time to stop thinking about my work so much…

I think you just need a Henway.

Depends if it’s a fat one or a skinny one.

Back in the 80s, I had a book that listed all the “Murphy’s Law” thingos that have been created over the past short while, and in amongst all the seriousness and irony was “Cole’s Law: Thinly Sliced Cabbage.”

Made me laugh and laugh for days. :slight_smile:

What’s a Grecian Urn?

About 5 drachmas/hour.:rolleyes:

How do you make a Venetian blind?

Poke him in the eyes?

I had a screen saver that listed all these “laws”, including Cole’s. I used to spend way too much time reading my screensaver.

I work in Social Services.

The other day I was talking to a blind woman. And signing.

Saw a ‘Help Wanted’ sign in a restaurant where I’d love to work, over the weekend.

I was up early, showered, did my hair, put on my make up. Dug out my ‘getting a job’ clothes, and dress overcoat. Walked thirty minutes in the cold damp breeze to put in my resume ----- closed on Mondays!

D’oh!

How do you make a Maltese cross?
How do you make a Swiss roll?

I’m just wondering what “Cole’s Law” might be…

Cole is entitled to a pipe, a bowl, and fiddlers three…

How do you make a hormone?

Don’t pay her!

I came in here to find out what Cole’s Law was. Roger Ebert used to have a rule that no Western with a character named Cole was more than a B movie, so I thought it might be that. :smack:

Say, isn’t that Hortense?

Jeez. Someone hand me a hammerfor.

To use on the snoo?

You can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think.

I’m horrified to think that it might have been my post about how I like my hotdogs in the “how do you eat steak” thread that started all of this.
