Description

Humorous vintage poster depicting the realities of Murphy's Law, the old adage that if anything can go wrong, it will. 

The map centers on a photo of a Model T-type car in knee-deep mire, with a wistful onlooker, and the saying that "Anything that Can Go Worng, Will Go Wrong."

Other adages and truisms are shown in green and black throughout the map, such as "There is always one more bug," "No one's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session," and "In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there."
