.......FUNNY 
Murphy dropped some buttered toast on the kitchen floor and it landed butter-side-up.
He looked down in astonishment, for he knew that it's a law of nature of the universe that
buttered toast always falls butter-side-down.
So he rushed round to the presbytery to fetch Father Flanagan.
He told the priest that a miracle had occurred in his kitchen.
But he wouldn't say what it was, so he asked Fr. Flanagan to come and see it with his own eyes.
He led Fr. Flanagan into the kitchen and asked him what he could see on the floor.
"Well," said the priest, "it's pretty obvious. Someone has dropped some buttered toast on the floor and then, for some reason, they flipped it over so that the butter was on top."
"No, Father, I dropped it and it landed like that!" exclaimed Murphy
"Oh my Lord," says Fr. Flanagan, "dropped toast never falls with the butter side up. It's a mir....
Wait... it's not for me to say it's a miracle. I'll have to report this matter to the Bishop and he'll have to deal with it. He'll send some people round; to interview you, take photos, etc."
A thorough investigation was conducted, not only by the archdiocese but by scientists sent over from the Curia in Rome. No expense was spared. There was great excitement in the town as everyone knows that a miracle would bring in much needed tourism revenue.
Then, after 8 long weeks and with great fanfare, the Bishop announced the final ruling.
"It is certain that some kind of an extraordinary event took place in Murphy's kitchen, quite outside the natural laws of the universe. Yet the Holy See must be very cautious before ruling a miracle. All other explanations must first be ruled out.
Unfortunately, in this case, it has been declared 'No Miracle' because they think that Murphy may have buttered the toast on the wrong side!"
AH, GLORY BE TO GOD, DONTCHA JUST LUV THE IRISH
