Marty says, "I'm going to throw some supper together, Ted. Feel like peeling a few potatoes?" Ted says, "Ah. Sadly, no." Ted says, "I'm afraid my badly injured right wrist prohibits me from performing such tasks!" Nate says, "But you just spent all afternoon playing Halo!" Ted says, "Exactly. How do you think I hurt my wrist?" Ted says, "The boy's not very bright, is he?" Marty says, "How about you peel lefty?"
WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS?
Marty: Hey Ted, can you go and pour the water in the children’s glasses for supper?
Uncle Ted: Sadly, no. I’m afraid I’d slip on a puddle and destroy the kitchen floor by making a hole and falling in it. Then, I go into the Earth’s core and die.
Marty: Are you just making excuses not to work?
Uncle Ted: Darn! You figured it out! I might as well pour the water in the children’s glasses as you said.
Uncle Ted goes into the kitchen, but slips on a puddle and makes a hole in the kitchen floor and falls in it. Ted then dies by falling into the Earth’s core.
Marty: Let’s move into a new house, kids.
Nate: That’s fine with me.
