Pavlov’s dogs and Schrodinger’s cat?

There’s something there, I think, but it doesn’t land as is.

I sat on it for a while and came up with this:

Pavlov and Schrodinger were flying together to a Thinker’s Convention. Their plane lost power and, in effort to make a safe landing, the pilot dumped their cargo.

For citizens below, it was raining cats and dogs.
