A Matter of Balance

Standing up on two feet turned out to be shockingly easy, but just standing around gets boring fast. Right in front of me sat an overturned ceramic coaster and a stray wooden toothpick. Naturally, an idea struck. I scooped up the toothpick, hopped onto the rim of the coaster, and balanced the tiny wooden stick right across the tip of my index finger. Not a single wobble. Gravity tried its best, but honestly, it never stood a chance.
