The Natural Law Of The Universe

Thanks to David H.

Murphy drops some buttered toast on the kitchen floor. But surprisingly it lands butter-side-up.

He looks at what’s happened in astonishment, for he knows it’s a law of nature that buttered toast always falls butter-down.

He rushes round to the presbytery to fetch the priest....

“Well,” says the priest, “it’s pretty obvious what we havehere. Someone dropped some buttered toast, and then for some reason flipped it over so that the butter was on top.”

“No, Father - No, Father, Oi dropped it and it landed just loike dat. Oi swear so.”

“Well,” says the prıest, “it’s certainly a natural law of the Universe that dropped toast never falls butter side up. But it’s not for me to say that it’s a miracle. I’ll report the matter to the bishop, and see what he has to say.

A rigorous investigation is instigated to evaluate if a ‘Miracle’ did in fact occur, not only by the local archdiocese, but by a bishop from Cork who was fresh back from the Curia in Rome.

After much thought the final ruling read: -

On conclusion it stated certainly an extraordinary event occurred in Murphy’s room, quite outside the normal run of phenomena. Yet we have to be very cautious before ruling any happening to be miraculous & rule out all possible natural explanations.

“In this particular case we have declared that there was no miracle.

The Irish Bishop then explains

“It’s obvious, Murphy must have buttered the toast on the wrong side.”
