Title: Things that make ya go Hmmm....
Post by: luckee on November 08, 2001, 11:08:10 PM
If people from Poland are called Poles, what are
     people from Holland called?

     "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the
     English language. Could it be that "I do" is the
     longest sentence?

     Why do we say something is out of whack? What\'s a
     whack?

     If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

     Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It\'s just
     stale bread to begin with.

     When someone asks you, A penny for your thoughts, and
     you put your two cents in, what happens to the other
     penny?

     If you take an oriental person and spin him around
     several times, does he become disoriented?

     Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money
     called a broker?

     When cheese gets it\'s picture taken, what does it say?

     Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist
     but a person drives a race car not called a racist?

     Why isn\'t 11 pronounced onety one?

     If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked,
     doesn\'t it follow that electricians can be delighted,
     musicians denoted?

     If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it
     Fed UP?

     Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

     I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible
     a whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on
     me . . .they\'re cramming for their final exam.

     I thought about how mothers feed their babies with
     tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do
     Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?

     Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post
     Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why
     don\'t they just put their pictures on the postage
     stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they
     delivered the mail?

     If it\'s true that we are here to help others, then
     what exactly are the others here for?

     Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The
     mime next door went nuts.

     Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

     Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

     If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?

     Whatever happened to preparations A through G?

     If soybean oil comes from soybeans, and olive oil
     comes from olives, and peanut oil comes from peanuts,
     where does baby oil come from?

     No one ever says "It\'s only a game", when their team
     is winning!

If people from Poland are called Poles, what are
people from Holland called? - Europeans

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the
English language. Could it be that "I do" is the
longest sentence? - No, both have the same amount of words.

Why do we say something is out of whack? What\'s a
whack? - It\'s called slang.

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? - Pigs don\'t talk, so they don\'t have a voice.

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It\'s just
stale bread to begin with. - To keep the freshness and keep it from rotting, molding, etc.

When someone asks you, A penny for your thoughts, and
you put your two cents in, what happens to the other
penny? - It\'s just a saying.

If you take an oriental person and spin him around
several times, does he become disoriented? - Same thing happens to a western person.

Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money
called a broker? - Why is a person that heals you called a doctor? .... That\'s just how they named it.

When cheese gets it\'s picture taken, what does it say? - Cheese doesn\'t talk.

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist
but a person drives a race car not called a racist? - Racist was already had another meaning probably.

Why isn\'t 11 pronounced onety one? - The person who named them just named it that way.

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked,
doesn\'t it follow that electricians can be delighted,
musicians denoted? - WTF?

If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it
Fed UP? - Sure, why not?

Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? - No, I heard they take lunch breaks.

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible
a whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on
me . . .they\'re cramming for their final exam. - I guess so.

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with
tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do
Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks? - WTF?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post
Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why
don\'t they just put their pictures on the postage
stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they
delivered the mail? - Because alot of people to go the post office to pick up their mail.. Thus, they might get a galance at those pictures.

If it\'s true that we are here to help others, then
what exactly are the others here for? - For them to help us.

Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The
mime next door went nuts. - WTF?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? - Because they are two different sayings.

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things? - That\'s just how it is.

If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose? - When pigs fly.

Whatever happened to preparations A through G? - WTF?

If soybean oil comes from soybeans, and olive oil
comes from olives, and peanut oil comes from peanuts,
where does baby oil come from? - Babies? lol

No one ever says "It\'s only a game", when their team
is winning! - I do.
