My 16 yo grandson just sent me this. It's too good not to share (enough
are applicable to GMC's to justify it):

How all these things are related. The description of Murphy's death below is similar to what I had picked up years ago as how Gumperson died. Perhaps Gumperson and Murphy were traveling together. Possibly good riddance to both of them.


How Mr. Murphy died:

One dark evening (in the U.S.), Mr. Murphy's car ran out of gas. As he hitchhiked to a gas station, while facing traffic and wearing white, he was struck from behind by a British tourist who was driving on the wrong side of the road.

Gumperson's law basically was "The probability of any event happening was directly proportional to its undesirability.

Bob Horton (who has been a victim of Gumperson's law many times.)
