Last Tuesday, my toast landed butter-side down, so I toasted another slice.

Why not just flip it, @alice_grant?

Actually think you're mixing up the old buttered toast thing with flipping a coin... the toast thing is about Murphy's Law, not a 50/50 chance. Coins are balanced, but toast usually falls butter-side down because of how it's held and the height of tables.
