Could the fence be related to this joke?
I told a wild dog to go away...
It dingo anywhere.
An exhausted man wonders in the desert until he finds a genie... "You have three wishes!" "Water! Please I need water!" A spring with cool fresh water raised from the sand. "Second wish?" "Food! I'm starving!" "Delicious food was served at once. "And your third wish?" "I want to be white and have a lot of a***ses!" Instantly he was turn into a bidet...
Occam’s razor is the principle that if you're explaining something, you should make the minimum necessary number of assumptions. This means that the simplest answer is usually correct.
Betteridge’s law of headlines. If a headline is phrased as a question, the answer is "no." It's based on the assumption that if the answer was a confident "yes," they would have presented it as an assertion.
The Peter principle states that managers always rise to the level of their incompetence. The idea is that people are promoted based on how well they're doing their current job.
Godwin’s law is the principle that the longer an online discussion goes on, the more likely it becomes that someone will make a comparison to Nazis
Goodhart’s law.. when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
The Pareto Principle is the idea that 80% of the output in a particular situation comes from 20% of the input.
Cunningham’s law states that the best way to get the right answer on the internet isn't to post a question, but rather the wrong answer.
Hick’s law says the time it takes for a person to make a decision is based logarithmically on the number of possible choices.

Murphy's Law of Parts Availability: If you need "N" number of parts, there will always be N-1 in stock.
If a special screw or a hard-to-get part falls on the floor, it bounces so that it quickly gets under the workbench out of sight and reach. - my observation, probably another law of nature.
Tony's corollary: The more rare, critical or harder to get a component is, the more likely it will get lost or damaged.
Yep - small parts grow legs and scurry away to hide... The exploit the missing sock energy of the universe...
