Buttered cat paradox
joke / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The buttered cat paradox is a popular joke based on putting two adages (sayings) together to make them funny:
- Cats always land on their feet.
- Buttered toast always lands buttered side down.

The paradox happens when one asks this question: What would happen if one attached a piece of buttered toast (butter side up) to the back of a cat, then dropped the cat from a large height?
