Cuauhtemock Corollary
a rule meant to prevent the unnecessary wastes of time waiting on another person who is woefully and unrepentantly inconsiderate

The cuauhtemock corollary is as follows: If two parties agree to meet at a certain time and one party does not show up, the aggrieved party shall wait no longer than 15 minutes. After 15 minutes with no form of communication from the late party it will be assumed said party is deceased and the aggrieved will be free to leave said meeting place and carry on with their day.

Related to Lloyd Webber's Law Of Temporal Positioning. The law states taht people who arrive at a theatre after their performance has started will always have seats in the middle of a row, causing as much annoyance for the other theatregoers as possible.

Schnoo's Corollary
Schnoo's Corollary: The first person to invoke the name of Stalin in an argument (outside of a discussion of Russian history or politics) should be immediately sent to the gulag.

Rush Limbaugh, in defending his inane remarks on "phony soldiers", declared out of the blue that "Stalinists have taken over the Left" in America. To follow the strictures of Schnoo's Corollary, Limbaugh should be shown what a real gulag is like forthwith.
