almccoyjr 7 Posted December 9, 2009 What questions do you ponder? My first question is related to the discussion on the climate: If all the sponges in the ocean were to die, would the level of the world's oceans rise dramatically? The other revolves around escalating prices: How can a funeral home/mortuary raise their prices and cite the cost of living as the reason? plug_nickel (Al) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted December 9, 2009 "The time has come", the Walrus said, "to talk of many things. "Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, "And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings." I recommend listening to Dr. John's song "Why Come?" (a Lousy Anna expression used instead of "How come?") . He asks many such questions. But he didn't touch some of the weightier issues, such as: If a man says something and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong? Why is that when I'm unhappy and she's happy, I'm happier than when I'm happy and she's unhappy? Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways? Why does it hurt when I pee?

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted December 9, 2009 I ask questions such as.. "Why does the fourth wheel on a supermarket trolley, look identical to the other three...yet render the trolley totally uncontrollable?"

Olham 164 Posted December 9, 2009 Hey, you guys must have far too much time left to waste. When you consider, that a male human being spends about 4 days of his life- including the nights - on shaving the beard from his face (not to mention other time consuming nonsense as lawn mowing) - I aks you: ain't you got nothing better to do but wasting your time?

Check Six 2 Posted December 9, 2009 I am constantly looking above my head for the "KILL THIS GUY!!!" sign placed there by "God" or "intelligent creator" or whatever your beliefs are. I ride a motorcycle and am constantly staggered at the profound stupidity of fellow motorists (though some don't realise they are in fact motorists...they are in some kind of dream-like trance, and don't even realise they are driving, let alone driving responsibly, to the regulations of the state, or to simply bloody LOOK WHERE THEY ARE GOING!). I take my life into my own hands every friggin day. And when they have scared ten shades of s**te outta me, nearly bowled me off my motorcycle, oblivious to their surroundings, they think that all is made good by a friendly little "I didn't see you" wave. Is my motorcycle a stealth job? Camouflaged perhaps? GRR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almccoyjr 7 Posted December 9, 2009 hmm. good questions, why are noses running and feet smelling? if our knees would be backwards, how would the chairs look like? Along those lines I sometimes wonder, when I stand up, where does my lap go? One of the better ones I've read is, "Why do they say the alarm is going off when obviously it's on and working." And for the musicians: When Jimmy cracks corn and I don't care, why would anyone write a song about it? plug_nickel (Al) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullethead 12 Posted December 10, 2009 Or...instead of having the seats turn into floatation devices, why doesnt the plane just turn into a boat? They used to, you know, back in the days of the Boeing Clippers.... When I worked in an airplane chopshop and we had a contract to repaint C-5s, I always wondered why they always put "delivery" as the last step on the schedule. After all, the very 1st thing we did was strip off the old livery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyby PC 23 Posted December 10, 2009 If you've a 50 / 50 chance, why do you get it wrong 100% of the time? Who's the bright spark that invented fire? How do you confuse a navvy? Point to four shovels and tell him to take his pick. Wait til after Christmas. With all the 'jokes' inside crackers, there'll be a million of these. Oh joy.

JimAttrill 24 Posted December 10, 2009 bread with butter always fells on the butterside. cats always land on their toes. what would happen if you strap a butterbread on the back of the cat? If the bread is toasted, you have a primitive anti-gravity device called a 'CatToast'. If you strap enough of them to your car (preferably so they can rotate) you instantly solve the Carbon emissions and Global Warming problems. The animal rights activists won't like it though.
