Things to ponder
This has been an interesting reading day, folks. But it is also getting hot and heavy. To lighten things up a bit, here ar some things to think about. My buddy e-mailed this to me last night. Ever Wonder... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why "abbreviated" is such a long word? Why doctors call what they do "practice"? Why you have to click on "Start" to stop Windows XP? Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? Why the man who invests all your money is called a broker? Why there isn't mouse-flavored cat food? Who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavor? Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box ? Why sheep don't shrink when it rains? Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? Why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe?

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors? If a cow laughed real hard, would milk come out her nose? If nothing ever sticks to Teflon, how do they make Teflon stick to the pan? Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM? Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, its called cargo? Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio? Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one? Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing? Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same? Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets? When you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? What was the best thing before sliced bread? If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from? Is the color orange called that because it's the color of the fruit of the same name, or was the fruit called orange because that's its color? Which came first, the color or the fruit? If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

OGV,
Thanks for the humor. I can't speak for any other blogger, but after some of the el crappola on the blogs this past week, I needed a chuckle. Stand easy.
