Why, Why, Why....I have pondered a few things or 2 over the years..and i thing this may be a great thread...After reading them can u add anymore?( I hope) Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting 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 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 wi ll 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 really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?" 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 is that one out of every four persons are suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you. hahahha!!Soo care to add any more to the list?

Thanks! These made me smile. Here one I dont get. They say you can't travel in time. But yet we can change time zones and either gain or lose hour(s). How does that work?

These are all really great!! and true!! Why is it that when we slip on ice, we try all kinds of stupid moves, before eventually falling down anyways? Why is it that whenever we have money to spend, we don't find anything we want to buy, and when we're broke, it seems like everything we need/use is on sale? Why is it that just when you finish changing your baby's diaper, he poops or pees in the new one? Why is it that when your head is full of shampoo you have no more hot water? Why do companies charge late fee charges if you're late to pay a bill? Obviously, you didn't have the money to pay it on time, so how is it that you'll have a few extra bucks to pay the late fee charges? Why is it that the lineup in which you're waiting doesn't seem to move? and if you go into the one that's been moving all along, then the one you just left suddenly moves??
