It was quite the paradox!

    Don’t get it. Suspect it doesn’t actually make sense.

              That’s my interpretation of what they were going for. If there’s any deeper meaning behind it, I don’t know it.

                I’m asking what the joke is. That’s the focus here. Because it’s presented as a joke. Even though it appears not to be. If you get it, please explain it.

      It both makes sense and doesn’t at the same time but eventually the punchline might ring a bell.

        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.

        Being mysterious doesn’t help me I’m afraid. Still don’t get it. The punchline doesn’t make sense and doesn’t ring a bell.

        The fact that you haven’t just explained the joke makes me think you can’t because it doesn’t work as a joke. Right?
