Why?

Do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their
vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a
shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

And my FAVORITE......The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

I've done my job,

Ann

I can answer answer all the questions that involve science but not the ones that involve idiocy.

Great insight. Hope you have a good week.

All of those are great points. Makes since to me but I don't understand why either. Have a great night.

On the shopping cart:

Have you noticed the popularity of the extended shopping cart, where there is a "driver's seat" for a small child? Why do shoppers view that as a good idea?

As a Parkinsons patient, my balance is bad. When I get knocked, I usually fall over. The problem is that as I pay for my groceries, there isn't enough room on the conveyor belt for the next person in line to load the groceries while standing behind an extended cart. And I get knocked over frequently as they push their cart as far forward as possible to reach the belt.

One day, I got bumped while far back in the line. The mother apologized. But I also cautioned that I get bumped a lot while paying, and I didn't want to land on her child if I fell over.

About 5 minutes later, as I paid for the groceries, that same woman clipped me right below the knee, and my feet flew out from under me. I grasped for anything that would prevent a fall, but I landed in her kid's lap. She was livid, saying that I should control myself better.

I wouldn't even make eye contact with her - not even in the parking lot. I never said a word, but forget how it hurt - my reply was "You idiot."

Great and very true points. I am really guilty the remote control one and the warm in winter cold in summer complaining one!

It has been a while. good to hear from you again.

those are all very good questions! like spyrick, i can anser all the questions about science and none of the ones involving idiocy.

Good to hear from you! Nice observations. I like the press harder on the remote, kind of like giving something non-mechanical a kick or a tap.

The day that the mattresses are not on sale is the day you have to buy one.

and yeah I do the vacuum string all the time and wonder why it doesn't take.

"If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?" That one caught my eye because I have always thought that myself, and it is so true.

Why do people push an elevator button faster and harder? Does it make the elevator speed up?

Why do we drive on a "parkway" and park in a "driveway"?

Why does "Non-stick" coating stick to a frypan?
