So what is it like wandering up to a bar while still wearing the glasses?

Probably like buying two pints for the price of one.

If you have two pints side by side on the bar, do they look like one?

Our software business used to be opposite an almost spit-and-sawdust
type pub. The landlord reckoned with the trade we brought in he should
take the pub upmarket. And replaced all the real beer with keg fizz, and
the sausage sandwiches with more expensive rubbish.

We didn't like it. It was however merely Murhpy's law that made us
relocate soon afterwards.

Is that the one that says "It tastes better than Guinness and is usually
a bit cheaper"? ;-)

A Google search on "Murhpy's law" turns up 85,000 hits, and nearly all of
those seem to be typos, so your definition is arguably correct.

However... another misspelling "Muphry's law" even has it's own Wikipedia
article and it's defined as meaning: "If you write anything criticizing
editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you
have written". It only has 23,000 Google hits, but most of those seem to
be the deliberate use of this context.
