At last, confirmation of 'Murphy's Law'
At last, confirmation of 'Murphy's Law'
with a wonderful Irish explanation
Murphy drops some buttered toast on the kitchen floor and it lands
butter-side-up.
He looks down in astonishment, for he knows it's a law of the universe
that buttered toast always falls butter-down. So he rushes round to
the presbytery to fetch Father Flanagan.
He tells the priest that a miracle has occurred in his kitchen. He
won't say what it is, but asks Fr. Flanagan to come and see it with his
own eyes.
He leads Fr.Flanagan into the kitchen and asks him what he sees on the
floor.
"Well," says the priest, "it's pretty obvious. Someone has dropped
some buttered toast on the floor and then, for some reason, they flipped
it over so that the butter was on top."
"No, Father, I dropped it and it landed like that!" exclaimed Murphy
"Oh my Lord," says Fr. Flanagan, "Dropped toast never falls with the
butter side up. It's a miracle.
Wait... it's not for me to say it's a miracle. I'll have to report
this matter to the Bishop and he'll have to deal with it. He'll send some
people round; to interview you, take photos, etc."
A thorough investigation is conducted, not only by the archdiocese but
by scientists sent over from the Curia in Rome . No expense is spared.
There is great excitement in the town as everyone knows that a miracle
will bring in much needed tourism revenue.
Then, after 8 long weeks and with great fanfare, the Bishop announces the
final ruling.
"It is certain that some kind of an extraordinary event took place in
Murphy's kitchen, quite outside the natural laws of the universe. Yet
the Holy See must be very cautious before ruling a miracle. All other
explanations must be ruled out. "
"Unfortunately, in this case, it has been declared 'No Miracle'
because they think Murphy may have buttered the toast on the wrong side!"
