Did you ever wonder....

 

 

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll

squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out"?

 

How about the first guy to try a chicken egg? Do you consider

him brave? How many tries before he cooked it?

 

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a

horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

 

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

 

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

 

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

 

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?

They're Both dogs!

 

Can blind people see their dreams?

 

Why ARE Trix only for kids?

 

If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme stuff,

why didn't he just buy dinner?

 

Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?

 

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? (Come on say it!)

 

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from

vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

 

If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear

him, is he still wrong?

 

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

 

Is Disney World the only people trap operated by a mouse?

 

Who's the first person who looked at a lobster and said, "Yummy!"

Here's one:

 

Why do we drive on a parkway, and park in a driveway? :confused:

 

Why do drive thru MAC machines have braille on them?

 

How come, at the ages of 18, 19, & 20 you can legally operate heavy machinery, drive a vehicle, own a firearm, die for your country, get married, father/mother children, decide who runs our country, smoke yourself into lung cancer, but you still can't drink a beer?

Why is it called a "tugboat" if it mostly pushes?

 

Why do we call them "buildings" if they've already been built?

 

Why do we call them the FIRE department? Kinda sounds like they go around starting fires... We don't call the Police the Crime Deptart, now do we? We should call them the Fire EXTINGUISHING Department!

 

 

and to be a smarty-pants, here's the answer to "Why we call it a parkway":

 

It is called a parkway because when they were built, they all ran through the national parks (and still do)....that's the entire reason...as far as the driveway part...uh, 'cause you have to drive up to your house before you park.........heh...not really sure about that one... :D

exactly.

 

Now on to things to ponder:

 

Why do we use "PH" instead of just using "F". (I know the reason but think about it)

 

And

 

If a letter is silient then why is it in the word.

 

I say lets remove these extra letters and make spelling easier. For instance make Photo into Foto, or Climb into Clim.

More Points:

 

Who was the first proctologist, and why?

 

Why are there words that sound exactly the same but have different meanings.? Why couldn't they make the word sound differently is that so hard. Examples: Two, To, Too, or Desert Dessert...

 

Who was the first man to say: "I have a fun idea, let me sharpen these blades, throw boards across them and slide down that mountian face first, and try to go as fast as I can."

 

To all the people who say: "If god meant for humans to fly we would have been born with wings. Well if god meant for humans to wear clothes we would have been born with them." Follow this logic, it will be interesting.

 

How did swear words become swear words?

 

What makes a book a classic? (I've asked english teachers, none could give me a good answer, most say they don't know).

 

How come there is Old English, there isn't Old French, or Old German?

 

Isn't it strange that a huge, heavy battleship has no trouble floating but a small penny sinks. (Once again I know the reason but still interesting to think about)

 

How decided that inhaling Helium was a good idea?
