The [[Jolly Contrarian]]’s [[second law of worker entropy]] states that [[confusion entropy]] will eventually lead to the [[boredom heat death]] of the universe.

[[Confusion entropy]] can be cured with alcohol, but there is a curious paradox, as overdoing the sauce (which, on a [[conference call]], can be tremendously tempting) can itself lead to total collapse through the [[inebriation event horizon]] into a black hole of soul-crushing despair. | [[Confusion entropy]] can be cured with alcohol, but there is a curious paradox, as overdoing the sauce (which, on a [[conference call]], can be tremendously tempting) can itself lead to total collapse through the [[inebriation event horizon]] into a black hole of soul-crushing despair. | ||
