Catch and Sniff

A play on the phrase "Scratch and Sniff" Smelling your own fart by cupping the air around your butt with your hand, after farting, and bringing it to your nose.
I hope my farts don't smell too bad ... I'm going to have to "Catch and Sniff", to make sure, because I have a hot date tonight.

Catch-42

A catch-42 means to think the unthinkable, make the impossible possible, or turn a seemingly hopeless or paradoxical situation into a solvable problem. The result is a groundbreaking realization that takes us beyond our imagination and fundamentally changes our way of life and view of the universe.
Newton’s law of universal gravitation or Einstein’s theory of relativity are prime examples of catch-42s.
