The Sandwich

At a restaurant, a table of three Japanese men placed their orders for two sandwiches and a salad. The waiter came back and said "Sorry sir, we have only one baguette left so one of you will have to take regular bread on your sandwich"

"Oh" said one of the men, turning to his co-sandwich ordering friend and simultaneously both of them made a fist. They played one round of rock paper scissors and informed the waiter that the winner would be the one getting the baguette and the other person would get the regular bread.

Schrödinger's cat or Schrödinger's pussy cat

Many of us are blessed to have that particularly pesky uncertain friend who has a hard time making decisions. To substantiate my point, imagine that you are asking them over a call or text “hey..dude/dudette, coming for the movie?”. Their standard reply is “will reply/call back in a bit..” leaving you in a state of uncertainty. These people are the real world counterparts of subatomic particles. Let me explain, when you asked them the question it destabilised the equilibrium state of their system and the answer to your question is a superposition system made of different states(replies) ranging from a definite YES to a NO similar to a superposition system of different eigenstates. Their uncertainty made you uncertain as well and you both are in a state of entanglement. When you text or call them back as they are taking forever to reply (time flows at a different rate for them because they are from the QUANTUM realm!) which is similar to making a measurement of subatomic particles; their system of superposition states collapses and you get a definite YES or NO. Moreover, you two are not entangled anymore.

LUCKY YOU!

I have a name for them Schrödinger's cat or Schrödinger's pussy cat.

P.S – Women feel free to be offended with certainty.

THE BUTTON and THE PORSCHE

THE BUTTON and THE PORSCHE

One lazy Sunday morning, little Emma was awake and dazed and bored. She didn't know what to do. She was sitting on the sofa, lost and thinking particularly about… nothing. Just, plain bored like being bored at food and such mundane stuff. Then, she saw a huge white Button on the teapoy with a sewing needle and a spool of thread. Seeing the button, invoked her curiosity or as Spinoza proposed, the Button had consciousness and it influenced her. She took the Button and began fiddling with it, to satiate her curiosity (curiosity killed the cat and the satisfaction brought it back to life !). Then, she saw her toy black Porsche lying on the floor. She picked it up while holding this strangely telepathic Button in her other hand. Now that she had the Button and the Porsche (like a jigsaw puzzle), she didn't know what to do with the Button and the Porsche. She got lost in her thoughts contemplating about the purpose of a Button and a toy Porsche coming together in her tiny little hands, is it destiny? ! Then, after some lemon and lime, like Harry dash of genius, she put the huge white Button in the driver's seat of the Porsche. She was happy, giggled like sparkling soda and she took the black Porsche driven by the huge white Button to her dad. Himself being a NOTY daddy(NOTY Tony), he had a wicked grin on his big bugs Bunny face and he called the Button, Jenson Button!
