A fly hovers above a lake.

A fly hovers six inches above a lake. A fish, just underneath the surface, thinks “If that fly drops six inches, I can jump up and eat the fly.”

Meanwhile, a nearby bear thinks “If that fly drops six inches, the fish will eat the fly, and I can eat the fish.”

Meanwhile, a hunter in the bushes thinks “If that fly drops six inches, the fish will eat the fly, the bear will eat the fish, and I can shoot the bear.” He takes a bite of a cracker, leaving the pack open.

Meanwhile, a mouse near the hunter thinks “If that fly drops six inches, the fish will eat the fly, the bear will eat the fish, the hunter will shoot the bear, and I can eat one of those crackers.”

Meanwhile, a nearby cat thinks “If that fly drops six inches, the fish will eat the fly, the bear will eat the fish, the hunter will shoot the bear, the mouse will eat the crackers, and I can eat the mouse.”

So the fly drops onto the water. The fish eats the fly, the bear eats the fish, the hunter shoots the bear, the mouse eats the crackers, but the cat overshoots the mouse and lands in the lake.

Moral of the story: Every time a fly drops six inches, a pussy is gonna get wet.
