WHY? WHY? WHY?



     My dear friend and former manager from "eons" ago, Karen, sends me the best emails. Karen's the one you want to recieve forwards from that are found the next morning in your email inbox.
     This was one I couldn't go another day without sharing with everyone. The email was entitled, "WHY? WHY? WHY?". The list asks some very... well... um... thought-provoking questions that, if nothing else, provide a good chuckle or two. ENJOY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why do you have to 'put your two cents in', but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?


Why does a round pizza come in a square box?


How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?


Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?


Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?


Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?


Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.


Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?


If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?


If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?


Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!


If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?


If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?


If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?


Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?


Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?


Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?


Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?


Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?


Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?


Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?


Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?


Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?


How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?


How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?


The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons are suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

About that last one...I know all my friends are nuts, which makes me wonder where all the sane people are besides myself?

J.E. Bolton said...

Very good point you made, Dragonmamma! I'm far from sane, so I couldn't tell you where any sane person is. LOL.

Thanks for commenting, as always! I love it when you stop by here.
