Making Your Own Rules

I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors. But there's no way paper can beat rock.

Is paper supposed to magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile?

Then why can't paper do this to scissors?

In fact, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of ruled paper constantly suffering students as they take notes in class?

I'll tell you why ... cause paper can't beat anybody. A rock would tear it up in 2 seconds.

That's why when I play paper, scissors, rock, I always choose rock ... then when somebody claims to beat me with paper, I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say ... "Sorry, I thought paper would protect you!"
