1968 and you will still be off on my age.

In the 60s I heard it called Finagal's law, And to this day Sod's Law (Google Sodslaw.exe, you can download it, it is a DOS program).

First time I heard it called Murphy's was in that office.

However as I noted elsewhere, Much older, since Mrs. Murphy discovered it.

Oh, you do know who threw the overhalls in her Chowder don't you?

(HINT: When they were ladeled out she fainted dead away, NOBODY ANSWERED, because... She had fainted dead away and thus could not till she recovered from the faint).
