Chelm
A perplexed citizen of Chelm consulted the rabbi, the wisest man in
town.  [That isn't saying much!]  "Rebbe," he began, "I was eating a
piece of bread and butter, and I dropped it.  To my surprise, it landed
with the butter side up!  Since it is well known that a dropped piece
of bread always lands with the butter side down, I am very puzzled.
What can account for this remarkable event?"

The Sage of Chelm reflected for barely a moment, and replied,
"Elementary, my dear Moishe, [I take some liberties with the
translation] you buttered your bread on the wrong side!"
