A Losing Streak (Lyric) by Jigg
Why does my toast fall butter side down? Why do I find a penny after losing a pound? Why do I back the favourite for it to come in last? Why is the quick buck never that fast? When do you think my luck'll change? When did my rabbit's foot get mange? When do you think this bad luck will blow? I guess when my toast doesn't taste like the floor.

Up the ladder: time
Down the ladder: Pathetic

what happens if you duct tape buttered toast, butter side up, of course, to a cat, and drop it off the top of a building?

do you create an anti-gravity field? didn't someone try this once?


the cat HAS to land on its feet. the toast HAS to land butter-side down.

maybe -=Dark_Angel=- can step in, and offer a ray of light, here? or at least some sort of conditional statement?

I believe what you would end up with is a cat with toast strapped to it's back, half way down a building, spinning on it's longitudinal axis. Quite a sight...

A ha ha! Yes! Good one! I've never heard that joke before! NEVER! IN THE LAST TEN OR SO YEARS I HAVEN'T HEARD IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN A MILLION TIMES FROM PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY'RE BEING TERRIBLY FUCKING WITTY OR HILIARIOUSLY OVER-LITERAL IN THEIR INTERPRETATION AND COMBINATION OF REAL AND SEMI-IMAGINARY PRINCIPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE GREAT FUNNIES! I'M SURE I'LL LAUGH MY GROIN TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

LOVE,

-=Dark_Angel=-

P.S. TOAST ALWAYS FALLS BUTTER-SIDE DOWN BECAUSE: WHEN IT FALLS OFF, IT IS USUALLY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUSHED JUST ENOUGH OFF THE EDGE. THIS MEANS IT WILL ALWAYS FLIP AT ROUGHLY THE SAME RATE. SINCE TABLES ARE ALL ROUGHLY THE SAME HEIGHT, THE TOAST WILL IN GENERAL FALL ON THE SAME SIDE FOR ANY GIVEN TABLE. THIS SIDE HAPPENS TO BE THE BUTTER SIDE. IF YOU KEPT YOUR TOAST BUTTER-SIDE DOWN ON THE TABLE, NOT ONLY WOULD IT FALL BUTTER-SIDE UP, IT WOULD ALSO PROBABLY NOT FALL AT ALL SINCE IT WOULD BE STUCK TO THE TABLE.

P.P.S.
