Not sure why but your joke reminded me of this true story:

Many years ago while at my father's uncle's funeral a couple of the old men there told a story about the deceased (nicknamed "Jigs" for reasons unknown). Way back when Jigs was a young man he had an old uncle known for his jokes and tricks. The uncle approached Jigs one day holding a newspaper and said "I'll bet if I put this paper on the floor and I stand on one edge and you stand on the other - you can't push me off." Jigs took the bet. The uncle placed the paper in a doorway, closed the door, then stood on his edge and started laughing. Jigs stood on his edge, punched through the door bare handed and shoved the no longer laughing uncle off the paper - winning the bet.

For me the story is all the better since I only new Jigs as a decrepit old man with hunched shoulders and arthritis.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
