Obvious Questions - They’re Piling Up
One-hundred and ninety, yes 190, obvious questions and climbing faster than I can write them down. There must be a team of people out there somewhere in the dark unknown who’s laboring day and night to make certain the “obvious” questions far outnumber the answers. I seriously considered recruiting a team of my own to take them on with an all-out assault and search for “obvious answers.” Then I regained my sanity. Here’s the latest additions to that gargantuan list.
- Why do they give you a tape with a VCR to tell you how to use it?
- If a food processor slices and dices food, what does a word processor do?
- Why do they make cars go so much faster than the legal speed limit?
- Why do we kill people for killing people to show that killing is wrong?
- Why do your feet smell and your nose runs?
- How do you know when you’ve run out of invisible ink?
- Why does a grapefruit look nothing like a grape?
- Why does the sun lighten our hair but darken our skin?
- Why is it called a “building” when it is already built?
- Why is it that night falls but day breaks?
- Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
- Why are they called “stands” when they’re made for sitting?
- Who opened that first oyster and said, “My, my, my. Now doesn’t this look yummy!”
- What is a “free” gift? Aren’t all gifts free?
- What kind of fruit is in Juicy Fruit gum?
