Some Questions To Think About.
« on: March 07, 2008, 10:10:52 AM »


        1. Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They are BOTH dogs!

        2. 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?

        3. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

        4. What disease did a cured ham actually have?

        5. Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby", when babies wake up every 2 hours? 

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

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

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

        9. Do the "Alphabet song" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" have the same tune?

      10. Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

      11. 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? 


       Just some simple little things to think about.

                               Later on, Bill :) ;)

          Exactly. :) Also, why do we say we are going "ON" the plane, when we actually are going "IN"? ::)

Aren't most of these from George Carlin?  Pretty sure this is his also...

Why is it that CARgo goes on a ship, but you send a SHIPment via TRUCK?!?

          Hey Uncle, I'm just biding my time til Spring actually gets here.  :D I have to do something cheerful :) to keep from becoming tearful :'( ;D  BTW, I'm with ekim, that snow moved in on us and dumped for quite a while before moving on. Though we didn't get near as much as some folks get every year, we DID get more than we have gotten in several years. Just replaced the tires on my minivan yesterday morning, just before this stuff started falling (it started about 30 minutes after I left with my new tires installed. How about THAT for timing? ;)

          BTW, why do we "Board" the plane? What does that have to do with a board anyway? ::)

         Yeah firecracker, some of them did come from George Carlin. That first group of questions were in the little newsletter that we get from our employer when we get our Earnings statement each payday and I just thought I'd pass them on.

Well, here's one I really want to know and was thinking about PMing Rocking M about;
How do vines grow straight up into trees? 
We have some big ol vines around here that go from the ground up into the branches without winding around anything.  How do they do that?

           Good question there Uncle, to which I have no answer. I am curious about why there are such things as:

            HOUSE flies    HORSE flies    &    BUTTER flies? 

         Ever wonder why those are named that? ::)

Wow, a Breezy!  I had worked for a guy for several years that built and flew one.  I took a ride and it was the most fun I had on a plane ever!  I took a video too, but can't find it >:(
