Schrödinger's Cat - Joke Backfired In My Nextdoor Group

[barry1010]

Somebody (not me) posted this in my group

WARNING. If a Mr. Schrodinger offers to sell you a cat, don't buy it. I bought one from him and honestly, I couldn't tell if it was alive or dead.

So far 15 people have urged him to contact the RSPCA, call the police or both.   More have reported him to the moderators for distressing content.

I'm finding the reactions far funnier than the joke - but despair somewhat at the lack of knowledge.  The people in my group or mostly 35+ (many 60+) so it's not a reflection of today's standard of education.

Anyway - did the joke hit your funny bone?

Quite amusing, thanks.

I found you something for Christmas, wolf, then I thought you might prefer a knitted reindeer jumper instead

For some bizzare reason my mind went straight to the dead parrot sketch.  Was the cat nailed to anything?

[Peter Pedant]

no it was put in a box with a cyanide gas capsule set to go off randomly

er it was a German experiment

so you cdnt on the outside tell if it were alive or dead

a thought  experiment ( gedanken experiment)

If a man makes an assertion & his wife doesn't hear him...

is he still wrong?
