Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table, you always manage to knock something else over?

In response to last week’s question, “Why is it that  whenever  you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table, you always manage to knock something else over?”, my sailing friend Tom concluded, “because your grasp of the situation is much shorter than your reach” while my friend Royce offered, “some of us are more agile than others.”

My dad’s beach buddy Bob explained, “I did that to some of my old girlfriends also but there was a method to my madness. “

My birthday bud Jon observed, “And, if you’re a true Murphy’s Law-yer, it will always be something worse—saved the napkin, knocked over the milk.”  My sailing friend Kurt added, “Ain't that the truth, probably because you are focused so tightly on the napkin you are trying to catch you don't see the glass of milk you are going to knock over.”

However, my cycling friend Ted challenged, “It is because you cannot change fate or prophecy. If something was meant to fall, it's going to fall.”  My BBQ friend Alan clarified, “The basic problem with this is the underlying assumption that the item that just fell off the table (the original item) wasn’t supposed to be on the floor to begin with.  So the 2nd item fell on the floor as a show of support for the original item.  It (the original item), just wanted to stay on the floor.”

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
