Have You Ever Wondered ...?

#1 Postby Dee Bee » Tue Oct 24, 2006 8:54 pm

An oldie-but-goodie, just for fun! (I especially like the one about the vacuum.)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

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

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why dID Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

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

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

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?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

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

Let's see... where to start?

You give the vacuum one more chance so you don't have to stop and carry the string or whatever over to the trash can. I've been known to put things that the vacuum won't get into my pocket so that I can continue vacuuming. If things are really bad, I'll tie a grocery shopping bag to the handle of the sweeper to put in the offending articles.

I have something to add, why do people say "sorry" to you when something is clearly your fault? I notice if you bump into someone for example, they say sorry before you get the chance to say sorry to them. Weird :lol: .
