Walter Cronkite once told a story that proves the validity of Murphy's
law. It seems that a statistics professor wanted to see how things would
work in a little experiment. He brought in a few loaves of bread and a jar
of peanut butter. Each of the 50 members of the class were instructed to
spread the peanut butter on a piece of bread and on a signal, throw them
into the air. The results:

49 pieces of bread landed peanut butter side down. The 50th stuck to the
ceiling of the classroom!  Q.E.D.
