Thank you for this, I saw this like 10 years ago and had forgotten about it. Still funny as hell all this time later.
Please explain why it’s funny. The laws of physics don’t work the way the written laws do. You can’t just break them cause a cop is not around. Please explain the joke.
Looks like you already know the joke since you basically explained it. You just don’t have much sense of humor to go with it.
It baffles me how people keep just obeying the laws of gravity even if nobody is watching. Like, Newton is long dead and it doesn’t harm anyone if you just sit on the ceiling in your own home, so why self police?
I’m worried I’ll slip up and do it in public. Or maybe the ceiling will be so much more comfortable that I can never go back.
Oh, and that ceiling fan kinda hurts.

Which came first?
The comic, Salvatore links it in the description and credits the author
Oh my God, it’s the guy from City of the Wolves!
It bothers me that that’s almost certainly Bing Crosby, but he’s being called Frank. Sinatra was roughly contemporary with Crosby; maybe if he was being called Geoff or something the cognitive dissonance wouldn’t be as bad.
Is it really breaking the law of gravity if you don’t get caught?
I wonder if someone’s made a joke like this in a science paper before. Something to the effect of “we don’t understand what’s happening in our experiment as it seems to break the laws of physics. Perhaps the physics police just isn’t around to enforce them.”

I mean breaking the known laws is just another way of saying discovering new physics. It’s what a lot of research is trying to achieve
He’s No. 1 on the most wanted list of the gravity police.
Jeroom is a comedic genius
The laws of gravity won’t keep me down
