Murphy on Painting: Laws #2 and #3

It appears that Law #2 runs along the lines of:

• If you have popcorn-textured ceilings; and,
• You do not have the steadiest, detail-oriented of hands; and,
• You are instructed by your significant other not to paint within an inch of said ceiling so that she can do the fine detail work at the edge of the popcorn; and,
• You have laid a wide strip of blue tape across edge of said popcorn-textured ceiling (you know, to have something just in case you feel rushed with the roller); and,
• You are using a small brush to demarcate instructed paint-free zone; and,
• You are rocking out to a mixture of Van Halen, The Who, Ozzy, Etc.; and,
• You decided to get a jump on painting that big wall while said significant other is still washing dishes from lunch...

You will have a major recto-cranial inversion and run with said small brush right up to the edge of the blue tape (just like you were doing when edging the built-in closet shelves) not once, not twice, but six f#<k!ng times.

It also appears that if you violate Law #2, Law #3 is:

Your significant other will have miraculously just finished the dishes and has arrived to start edging the ceiling area.
