Just remember... If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
What’s so funny about this? My physicist friends and those with a scientific bent will have a field day with this one, meaning it’s perfect for them to criticize. So, I’ll be the first to admit that this joke is highly unscientific. It kind of falls in the “earth is flat because you can see it’s not round” category of thinking. I once had a girlfriend, while I was living in another country. She was fully educated but one day confessed to me that even though she’s been taught the earth was round it was obvious to her that it was, in fact, flat. There was no real arguing with her about it either. Anyway, This joke is kind of about gravity and in a way gravity does suck in that it exerts a force that keeps us sticking to the planet, without it not only would we fall off but so would everything else on it, including the atmosphere. So “sucking” is not a bad metaphor to describe what gravity does. Of course, “off” is a relative
