The "laws" were extracted from a S/370 Assembler program on a SHARE tape.
The comments in the program:
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
* 'MURPHY' THE OLE PHILOSOPHER 18 AUGUST 1988 *
* *
* MURPHY WAS FOUND ON A JES2 TAPE OF ALL PLACES WITH ABOUT *
* 500 OR SO SAYINGS. GOT ANOTHER 250 FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE *
* AND HAVE ADDED ABOUT 100 OR SO MYSELF. *
* *
[list of changes omitted]
* *
* JIM MARSHALL, CAPT, USAF *
* (301) 688-6829 *
* *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
I will try to contact Capt. Marshall to get some history behind the
sayings.
