Default MORE things that make you go "hmmmmmmmm"

Subject: Ever wonder?

Things that makes you go HMMMMMM

Here are a few things to think about that you probably have never thought
about;

Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered
assassinated instead of just murdered?

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?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were
buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What disease did cured ham actually have?

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?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

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 is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

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?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

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 do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't
point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

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

If Wyle 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?

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

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call
it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

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?

Do you ever wonder why you gave me your e-mail address in the first
place?

1st~ Yes~ if youve ever hit water face first at 60mph your pretty damn sure your breath is wincing out your eyes in tears . . .

2nd~ Purely a packaging decision. Think how much easier it is to pack/stack squares opposed to circles . . .

3rd~ THIS ONE MADE ME BURST OUT IN LAUGHtER ... AND GOT ME THINKING!
(two things Physics and Calculus failed to do ...)

1. Yes, and drown too.

2. The first penny went into the thought. The extra penny was used in saying that thought.

3. Good question. I have a sleeping disorder.

4. While you're at it, ask the doctors if they derive joy from grabbing one's set of twins and/or jamming a finger in one's rectum.

5. I wonder how a dog feels when one farts on his face.

Take it for what it's worth. Hope it's two cents worth spending.

I've often wondered how the blind know when they are done cleaning up after a trip to the bathroom.

Sorry, but that's about as tactful as I could make it.

Default Some more burning questions

1) If firefighter fight fires, and crimefighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?

2) why are they called apartments, when they're always so close together.

3) Why do we park on driveways, and drive on parkways?

4) why is the stuff that comes by boat called cargo, and the stuff that comes by truck called a shipment?

5) If a cat <i> always </i> lands on its feet, and a piece of buttered bread <i>always</i> lands buttered side down, what happens when you tie a piece of buttered bread, butter side up, to the back of a cat?

6) Why do they write the numbers in brail on Drive Up ATM machines?

7) why can I remember all these stupid questions for years, but forget to grab my car keys when I leave the house in the morning?

That might follow the same line as, "Why does flatulence smell?"

A couple of my favorites...

If a cow laughs, does milk come out its nose?

I stepped on a rusty tetanus needle. Now what?

Well actually studies have shown that it's a 50/50 deal, that is in controlled tests it falls 50% of the time on the buttered side and 50% of the time on the unbuttered side. Therefore 50% of the time we must be buttering our bread on the wrong side.

Nope. The speed of light is absolute, not relative to the source
