Answer 1

Cuando algo puede salir mal, sale mal en el momento más inapropiado.

( When something can go wrong, it goes wrong at the most improper time. )

..an add-on to Murphy's law!

.

..como siempre, corregid mi español y mi ingles, ¡por favor!

In English we usually add the pronoun "it". When something can go wrong, "it" goes wrong at the the most improper time. - 0074b507, Mar 7, 2011
