The Spoon Catapult

I found a shiny metal teaspoon and a wooden clothespin near the couch! Naturally, my cartoon inventor instincts took over immediately. With a couple of rubber bands I scavenged from a drawer, I rigged up a high-precision contraption right on the coffee table. I loaded it with a crunchy dry cereal loop, pulled the spoon back with both paws, and—twang! The cereal loop didn't just fly; it ricocheted off a ceramic mug, bounced off the lampshade, and landed squarely inside a clean coffee cup with a glorious clink. ACME couldn't have engineered a more satisfying test run!
