IIRC Murphy's law is "If anything can go wrong, it will."
Now that is pessimism in spades. And you say he is an optimist? I completly understood Garndpa Kim. if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong four, five times in a row. If something is going to go wrong, you have no chance of it going right. Murphy said "IF" something.... I say there is no "IF" about it. it will. Murphy was an optimist.
