Quote by Steven Wright

If toast always lands butter side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it

If toast always lands butter side down, and cats always land

Summary

This quote is a humorous play on the common sayings about toast and cats. It combines the belief that toast always falls butter side down with the observation that cats instinctively land on their feet when they fall. By suggesting strapping toast on the back of a cat and dropping it, it humorously poses the question of whether the cat will somehow land on its feet or if an unexpected outcome will occur.
