1. Want English muffin
2. English muffins are better toasted
3. Want butter on English muffin
4. Butter must be spread upon toasted English muffin
5. Butter exists in fridge, in individually-wrapped pats
6. Cold butter is hard and resists spreading
6a. Even upon hot English muffin, this occurs.
6b. Put another way: Time needed for butter to soften > Time required for English muffin to cool
6c. Butter will be unsatisfactorily spread
7. UNLESS
8. Grip pat of butter in hand while waiting for English muffin to toast
9. Body heat renders butter optimally spreadable by the time English muffin has completed toasting
10. BASK IN ULTRAVIOLET GLOW OF PERSONAL GENIUS
