Food for Thought

I wish I can take credit for this but I can't. I found this on the back page of the "White Lake Area Visitor's Guide" that i picked up yesterday. No name is given for credit.

Food for Thought
  • Can you cry underwater?
  • How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
  • Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
  • Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
  • What disease did cured ham actually have?
  • If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
  • Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
  • If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
  • If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
  • If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
  • If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
  • Do the alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
  • Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
  • Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a ride, he sticks his head out the window?
  • If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all the ACME junk, why didn't he just buy dinner?
  • Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
  • How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
  • Why is it people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?
  • Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

Think about it for a while, but not for too long....

I have some answers to a couple of those questions:
-About Jimmy cracking corn: Perhaps another question should be asked, if nobody cares that Jimmy cracked corn, why does he keep doing it?
-About where the "other penny goes": The answer is simple: taxes
-About the Professor on Gilligan's island: The Professor signed a Deus Ex Machina contract forbidding him from repairing the boat.
Hope some of these answers can ease your mind a bit. And if you really want to ponder some strange ideas just listen to Pinky's dialogue in the WB cartoon Pinky and The Brain. Lots to think about.
