Ok, with all the political stuff and dead people going around, I thought it might be good to ask these questions.<br /><br />1. Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken<br />computer in it?<br /> <br />2. Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath<br />you use the bubbles are always white?<br /> <br />3. Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?'<br /> <br />4. Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator<br />with hopes that something new to eat will have<br />materialized?<br /> <br />5. On electric toasters, why do they engrave the<br />message "one slice?" How many pieces of bread do<br />they think people are really gonna try to stuff in that slot?<br /> <br />6. Why do people keep running over a string a dozen<br />times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down,<br />pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum<br />one more chance?<br /> <br />7. Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from<br />the end you first try?<br /> <br />8. How do those dead bugs get into those closed light<br />fixtures?<br /><br />9. Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you<br />kept drying your clothes would they eventually just<br />disappear?<br /> <br />10. When we are in the supermarket and someone<br />rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes<br />for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it<br />isn't all right so why don't we say, "That hurt, you<br />stupid idiot?"<br /> <br />11. Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch<br />something that's falling off the table you always<br />manage to knock something else over?<br /> <br />12. Is it true that the only difference between a yard<br />sale and a trash pickup is how close to the road the<br />stuff is placed?<br /> <br />13. In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm<br />as it was in summer when we complained about the<br />heat?<br /> <br />14. How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?<br /> <br />15. If at first you don't succeed, shouldn't you try doing<br />it like your wife told you to do it? And obviously if at first<br />you don't succeed, then don't take up sky diving!<br /> <br />16. The statistics on sanity are that one out of every<br />four Americans is suffering from some sort of mental<br />illness. Think of your three best friends, if they're okay,<br />then it's you.

Re: Some good questions

Why do we call it a driveway, when we park in it?<br />Why do tornados hit mobile homes?<br />Why do we start a motor, but never finish it.<br />Why are the words Caution: Contents may be hot on the vending machine coffee cups that say Hot Coffee?<br />Why is it called a Parkway, when we drive on it? Will the last person leaving Indiana turn off the lights

If we are all snowed in, how do the snow plow drivers get to work?<br /><br />Why do we call it a HOT water heater? Why would we heat hot water?

Why do oversee and overlook mean different things?

Re: Some good questions

tylerin, lol...<br /><br />I know, not in the spirit of the post, but there is one that has a real answer:<br /><br />5. On electric toasters, why do they engrave the<br />message "one slice?" How many pieces of bread do<br />they think people are really gonna try to stuff in that slot?<br /><br />that's the slot with the heat sensor that determines when the toast is done, so need to use that one if only toasting 1 piece of bread.
