From: John Murphy on 10 May 2010 19:38 I recently bought a 350g bottle of Sharwood's mango chutney. I was diappointed to find that, unusually, it contained no mango chunks, though claims to be 41% mangoes. It seems unlikely that it was the only bottle the dispenser missed. I am, though, in accord with Aristotle that it is is by definition not possible to generalise from a single instance, even if he himself confused elephants with cats because, unaware of comparative sizes, he couldn't get an elephant into his apartment, had to send it back, and was consequently ruined by the freight costs. No wonder the logicians leave this out, lacking any space to accommodate additional elephants, at least figuratively speaking. The good news, however, is that Waitrose Hot and Spicy Mango Chutney costs less [UK, anyway], has lots of juicy chunks, 4% more mangoes, contains and is replete with traditional Indian spices which would delight any non-traditional doctor, though he or she might think it has too much sugar. And they might be right, but it is yummy! -- Harbinger.

That's the Murphy's law for you, dude.
