PLOP! Lucy tosses a sandwich on the floor. <br> <br> PLOP! She does it again. <br> <br> With the sandwich in hand, she approaches Violet with her hand raised. She declares, "I have discovered a SCIENTIFIC TRUTH.." Violet asks, "What is it, Lucy?"<br> <br> Lucy declares, "No matter how you drop a piece of bread 'n' butter, it always lands on the rug 'butter side down'!"<br> <br>
If one throws a buttered bread into the air, it will be pretty random, but if one carries bread on a plate at chest-level or if one accidentally knocks buttered bread of of the edge of a table, the bread only has time for half a revolution before hitting the ground, so this strip is true for real-world conditions of accidental bread-drops.
