All true i beleive, especially the last one.

I had a tennis racket not long ago, a Head I.X4, fantastic racket! played really well
it broke. And when i went to get a new one the last one had been sold and there were no more coming in, no longer in production.

My tennis coach has the same problem with his head radical, no longer made and he doesnt like the upgraded one the flexpoint much...  ::)

I know from experience that most of these laws are true except:
Law of the Telephone: When you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.

You wouldn't know it's a wrong number unless somebody answered it. :P
