Who said buttered toast?
It's a known fact buttered bread, once dropped, ALWAYS lands buttered side down.
Now, if you strap it buttered side up on the back of a cat and dropped them from a considerable height, the laws of butterology and felineology would try to come into play.
Since we know they're both trying to act within their own respective laws, it's safe to say that the two laws effectively cancel each other out, thereby causing the cat and the bread to hover, or 'float' if you will, in mid-air.
It's the same with jam or jelly.
Any questions?
