The Miracle.

[greenlands]

From my mate hero.

 

 

Murphy drops some buttered toast on the kitchen floor. It lands butter-side-up.

He looks at what he has done in astonishment, for he knows it's a law of

nature that buttered toast always falls butter-down..

 

He rushes round to the presbytery to fetch the priest..

He tells the priest that he thinks a miracle has happened round at his flat.

He won't say what it is but wants Fr Flannagan to see it with his own eyes.

 

He brings Fr Flannagan into the kitchen and asks him what he sees on the

floor." ""Well," says the priest, "it's pretty obvious what we have here.

Someone dropped some buttered toast, and then for some reason flipped it

over so that the butter was on top."" "No, Father, I dropped it and it

landed like that."

 

"Well," Fr Flannagan says, "it's certainly a natural law of the universe

that dropped toast never falls butter side up. But it's not for me to say

it's a miracle. I'll report the matter to the bishop, and have him send

people round, to interview you, take photos, etc." An investigation of some

rigor is conducted, not only by priests of the archdiocese, but by

scientists sent from the Curia in Rome.

 

The final ruling is a negative, however. it reads:

"It was certainly an extraordinary event that occurred in Murphy's room,

quite outside the normal run of the phenomena. Yet we have to be very

cautious before ruling any happening miraculous, ruling out all possible

natural explanations. In this case we have declared no miracle. For it

possibly resulted from Murphy's having buttered the toast on the wrong

side."
