Get the Phillip’s Paradox mug.See: Paradox
I went back in time and accidentally killed myself, but I'm not gone because since I was never born. I never came back and killed myself, so that means I'm still alive in the future to come back in time and kill myself, which is why I'm here, having just killed myself and restarted the vicious cycle. I'm stuck in a Paradox.

Get the The Hangover Paradox mug.Also known as the coolest and most insensitive way to break up ever conceived by man. A sex move that's notoriously hard to pull off. You'll need a window in your bedroom, on the ground floor, a cupboard for a friend to hide in, and a girl.
Start doing the girl doggy-style, facing the window, and then have your friend quietly sneak out of the cupboard and trade places with you without her noticing. Then exit the room, walk in front of the window, and wave to her. Bonus points if you're still naked when you do this.
