Newton's Law of Hired Autorickshaws

Whenever in hurry, or urgent need to get somewhere on time, you will get the slowest bloke driving your hired autorickshaw, who is of the opinion that gear 2 will be invented in the next century and will follow all the traffic rules and be gracious enough to let other vehicles, pedestrians, dogs, cats, etc. pass on ahead.

The irony is that 9 out 10 times when you are on time, you dont get this chap, but when one time you are late (which can happen cos its not a perfect world) you get him... and always too that very one time!! ..Maybe Im just unlucky eh :P

Same as saying: The probablility of the bread falling the butter side is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet :)

Moral of the story: Dont take a auto...Since you are late and will get more late with an auto, you might as well miss the meeting :D

wow.. posting here after ages..
Tejas, the reason it will always fall on the buttered side is because it is the heavier of the two sides . with a sufficient drop it has enough time to flip.. much like how a shuttle cock never lands on its feathered side
