Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for December 11, 2022

Was it heads or tails?

I can relate. Butter side up is supposed to be a 50/50 chance. Might be for someone else, but not for me. For me, it’s more like 20/80. Butter side down 80% of the time. Sigh….

Took me a minute to take it all in.

I found the purr-fect solution to prevent the bread from landing “butter side down” – I just spread it with jam.

I don’t drop buttered toast on the floor often enough to generate reliable statistics.

Sometimes it seems like there’s never anyone else around to witness your greatest accomplishments.

Hey Horace….Don’t forget the five second rule!

When toast falls from the counter to the floor it begins to rotate. The distance to the floor is only sufficient for one half of a rotation so the toast always lands butter side down. It is not the same as tossing a coin which imparts multiple rotations.

Buttery toast tastes better after being on the floor butter side down

Ok, Horace, 3 second rule…

Misery loves company; though the opposite is not true.

He obviously doesn’t have a dog.

I want a close-up of Horace retrieving his toast with his hoof.

The probability of the toast landing butter side up os dependant on the cost of cleaning the carpet. Or you might have messed it all up by putting the butter on the wrong side.

Three great jokes for the price of one.

And what happens when you drop a glass and it doesn’t break?

Then there’s the old joke about the schlemiel.

Someone did a study involving table height, distance of toast from edge of table and rotational forces during free fall. It turns out there are significantly higher odds of toast landing butter side down on the floor. Of course, this assumes you set the toast down butter side up. If you do prefer your toast to land on the floor butter side up, you should set it on the table butter side down. Science!
