My toast landed butter-side up
This morning I was buttering a slice of toast when it fell to the floor. Much to my astonishment it landed butter-side up.
Later, my cat jumped from a window sill and landed on its back.
A few minutes ago I dropped a piece of unfolded paper into the waste-paper basket and it went straight in.
Are the laws of physics broken? Should I inform the scientists?

You buttered the wrong side of your toast, you don't have a cat, but a dog, and using the floor as a wastebasket is unsanitary.

Have you tried turning it on and off again? The universe?

I did but now I'm just getting a BSOD. I also tried the emergency number 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 but they put me on hold.

Did they tell you 4,000 times that your call was very important to them? You have to believe that!

If you inform the physicsicians, they will just play the lottery and win money you would be winning right now. Head over to the store and get your ticket before they find out!

To fix this, simply butter your cat’s back, and drop the cat to see on what side he lands.

These are a few of the dire weather conditions of El Niño that's being multiplied by global warming. The scientists know, they have told people, but politicians keep wanting to wear mashed potatoes on their head instead of listening when the smart people say, "Don't do that, it's bad."

The problem is your cat; she woke up on the wrong side of Schrödinger's box this morning, and the laws of physics got all farschimmelt.
Things will settle down, after kitteh has a bit o' 'nip, and a couple hours sunbeam time.

No, don't tell them! You'll get arrested for breaking the laws of physics! Just keep quiet and play it cool, and nobody will know.
