If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
Why do we say something 'is out of whack'? What's a whack? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? Why do women wear evening gowns to nightclubs? Shouldn't they be wearing night gowns? If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car not called a racist? Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things? If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible? If 21 is pronounced "two-enty one" Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"? Why is it that if someone tells you there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them. But if they tell you a wall has wet paint, you have to touch it to be sure? Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? What hair color do they put on the drivers licenses of bald men? 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 finals. No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team is winning. If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation? If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?  |

LoL, good ones... i think i have one:
If a 24 hours store is open 24 hours 7 days a week, then why do they have locks on their doors? And why is there brail (for the blind people) in the drive through ATMs? ------------------ That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. |

Why do we park on a drive way and drive on a park way? ------------------ That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. |
