Is It Just Me? Harry K. Jones on 10 Mar 2008 11:00 am
Additional Obvious Questions
There are far too many questions out there in our everyday routines that need to be asked. I’m not talking about questions that will end wars, abolish poverty, cure all diseases, or eliminate the world’s problems. I’m talking about the questions that drive us crazy due to their simplicity and the questions that absolutely no one seems to be able to answer. Just about the time I think I’ve heard them all, I come across a new supply. Check these out.
- Why is it an American citizen will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won’t cross the street to vote in a national election?
- If a train station is where the train stops, what is a work station?
- What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
- How do “Do not walk on the grass!” signs get there?
- Why do the tennis shoes I need today go on sale next week?
- Why do sick children recover miraculously when the pediatrician enters the treatment room?
- Why do refrigerated items that we use daily gravitate toward the back of the refrigerator?
- Why do emergency bulletins never interrupt a commercial?
- Why do the doctors who keep you waiting the longest have the dullest magazines?
- Why is it nothing you order by mail ever looks as good in the picture as it does in the catalogue or online?
- Why do you always find someone home when you dial a wrong number?
- Why do you never have the exact change when you get to the toll booth that requires exact change?
