Can't decide

Can't decide between
two things? Wait - see
if you can find a flat,
round,
object with a human head
depicted on one side, and
a bird
on the other.

In the USA
we have tons
of these, called
"quarters" because
it was once thought
the "tails" side was George
Washington's BUTT - i.e.
hindquarters.

When it was realized it
was his head, it was shortened
to "quarters." At that point,
we stopped calling it
the "heads" side,
making the bird-side
"tails"

Naturally. (Which makes no real sense, stick with
me though.)

Anyway
we use these things
to make any decision involving
people vs. birds. It's a toss-up! If
it lands with a person showing,
go people. "Heads" it is. If you see
BIRD
- go birds.
The system's perfect 
almost. Like letting the universe 
steer 
for you

with its bum
