When I was a paperboy, the Los Angeles Daily News had a humor columnist

answer to San Francisco's Herb Caen, only not quite as witty.
One of Winestonck's on-going themes was the "law of the perversity of
inanimate matter"--why toast always falls butter-side down, and such.
I'm educated enough to know that plants are not "inanimate matter" but
experienced enough to suspect they follow the same law--as do a
majority of my ex-wives, children, and in-laws.
Thank you for your time in listening to this.
