I think that's why I like Murphy's Law way better than Karma.
   Murphy's Law is the ironic, dark comedy side of life. Murphy's
   law doesn't care what someone doesn't deserve, or does deserve.
   Karma, on the other hand, pays attention to who does what to
   whom, punishment and rewards. Murphy's Law is more random - yet
   predictable enough. If something CAN go wrong, it WILL go wrong.
   and all you can d...o is shrug your shoulders and go, "Oh,
   that's murphy's law again". I Love Lucy is a great example: Does
   she get instant karma for her plans and schemes going wrong
   everytime - or is it murphy's law that something ALWAYS comes up
   and messes up her plans? it's all how you look at it. that show
   was genius - and Ricky always forgave Lucy, which really is one
   of the coolest parts of the show that gets overlooked a lot."
