It was widely known to the Russians that a poor man's bread always landed
face down, while a rich man's landed butter side up. One day an undeniably
poor man's slice landed on the floor butter up, so he was alarmed - it was a
miracle - so he reported it to the priest. [Extend this story at will]
Eventually, after great debate, it was decided that the man was not only
poor, but stupid - he had buttered it on the wrong side.
