thing or two I wonder about
« on: September 22, 2009, 12:46:53 AM »
If there's real estate, is there fake estate?

a hot water heater? If the water is already hot, why are you heating it?

Why does the needle used in lethal injections have to be sterile?

Why do you drive in a parkway & park in a driveway?

Why do you sit in the stands?

Why is the foul pole in fair territory?

If its "Neither here, nor there" Where the h*ll is it?

Is the hokey-pokey what its really all about?

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes? Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

Why do you get 12 hot dogs in a pack, but only 8 hot dog buns in a pack?

What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?

When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it to?

Who was the 1st person that saw a cow, looked at the udder & thought "Let's squeeze these things & then drink whatever comes out?"

 :huh

I've never seen a 12-pack of hot dogs...

But how did they know it was midnight?  :D

It used to be 10 hot dogs in a standard package...I stopped paying attention when I stopped buying buns to go with them.

You can still get 10 packs of hot dogs.  It's just the really cheap ones that turn the water pink.

"Pardon me?"

"I said I would like to buy a hot water heater."

...
"What the hell for? Hot water doesn't need to be heated.
I know, you must want a cold water heater! No? How 'bout a hot water cooler?" *shakes head*

If people from Poland are called Poles?  Are people from Holland called Holes?  And for that matter how would you refer to the people of Crete?
