A popular illustration of Catoast antigravity device (taken from uncyclopedia - creator did not provide his name)

Long-standing scientific theory holds that a combination of Murphy's Law ("if something bad can happen, it will"), Finagle's Corollary to Murphy's Law ("if a buttered piece of toast is dropped, it will always land butter side down") and the old saw that "a cat always lands on its feet" would result in either a perpetual motion device or a method of levitation involving a cat with buttered toast strapped to its back. The theory goes that the two conditions ("the cat will land on its feet" and "the toast will land on the butter") create a conundrum exception to physical laws, since both conditions...

It was at the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.
The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Some flowers." "
That's right" the boy said, "but how did you know?"
"Oh, just a wild guess," she said.
The next pupil was the candy shop owner's daughter.

Recess. All the calm the kids kept during school was let out with squeals, screams and running wildly about.

We went out to the playground. I watched in disgust as Erica took a big bite out of her peanut butter, marshmallow and black olive sandwich.

Suddenly I hear a little wine and a big whale coming from behind the slide.

We saw a dog that looked Hispanic. He was so dehydrated that he gained five pounds when I spit...
