hmmm...ill have to think on those ;)

Yeah, you get back to us when you get an answer to all of 'em! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Another one for the list, Arvon:

"If swimming makes you thinner, then why are whales so fat?"

<font color=gold>
Don't flame me for this but, this is the worst 'funny thread' Arvon has put up ever @ IW.... :(
None of them remotely peeked my interest, while normally Arvon's threads crack me up. Maybe because they are easily answered through common sense? It's like that commercial for 'white beer': if I won't pay a fortune teller, will she see me in the first place? I don't like it....

OK. I'm going to attempt to answer these:

Can you cry under water? Yes. Just cry first then dunk your head in the water.

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Good question. I guess only VIPs according to the media which I don't give a hoot about.

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches? Leafless branches.

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round? Because the meatmaker is round. The breadmaker is square.

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? Cost of production.

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Not possible. Clothes are physical not etheric.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Its easier to make square boxes.

What did cured ham actually have? Mad pig disease.

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? really? I didn't know that.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? That's exactly what they meant. At least that's what I mean when I say that.

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Huh?

If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you? Tell them you're doing a taste test.

Why are you IN a movie, but you are ON TV? Skip.

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Only if the ground things are far away.

How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America? Because Americans have more beautiful people then ugly ones.

Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway. Ugh this a tuffy. I'll ask next time.

If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call? If she's at work, then her co-worker.

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural? Well bras is plural and panty is singular. Right?

it's "piqued." [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

and, Gforce... No. Just, no. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And, I for one, really liked it Arvon, keep it up! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

LOL, GeForce, some of those answers made me laugh..."Taste Test", honestly...but you can't cry underwater becuase you need to take breaths to cry, and you can't underwater. ;)

I liked those. I myself have often wondered two things:

Why is abbreviation such a long word?

And

If you tie a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back and drop the cat off the table, which way up does it land?
