You might’ve heard about the CAP Theorem. It says that when building a distributed system, you’d like to guarantee 3 properties – Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance – but that you have to pick two, because you can’t have all three at the same time.

Today I’ve invented DRC Theorem™.

1. Dog
2. Rain (and therefore mud, at least in Lubbock)
3. Clean Carpet

Pick two. You can’t have all three at the same time.
