Tap Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 These are from an email I received so I am sure they have been around a while. I know a few are really old, but I thought a few of you may not have seen them before. EVER WONDER ... Why do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke? Why do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters? Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage? Why do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight? Why do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'? Why do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering? Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin ? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word? Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?! Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for the laugh! The bank and their chained pens makes me LOL every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 My favorite one of these is: Why do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for the laugh. And I can answer the one about the trash in the garage vs the car in the garage. Dogs, bears and racoons can't break into your car, but the trash is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
