Why?

Why?Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery?" Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is a boxing ring square? Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips? Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin? Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why is it that rain drops but snow falls? Why is it that to stop Windows 95 or 98, you have to click on "Start?" Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance? Why do you need a driver's license to buy alcohol when you can't drink and drive?

First of all, I just HAVE to say...I CAN put mascara on with my mouth closed! lol. I really like the nailing down a coffin one. The answer might creep me out but it made me laugh. And why are doctors work called "oractice" was a good one. The one with the plane being made out of the black box stuff...I have actually thought of the same question a lot. I am scared to fly (even though I do it) and I would be a lot happier if the plane was made out of that stuff.

I have a habit of putting my mascara on with my mouth open, but I am capable of doing it with my mouth closed also. I've never been on a plane yet. I am afraid of height but I am going to get up the nerve to do it so that I can travel more.

I, too can put on my mascara with my mouth closed. I really enjoyed this too.

You know, with glue, I always wondered why tape doesn't stick to itself when it is all rolled up. This was a fun read though, thanks.

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

These are some really good questions. They are also funny and something to really think about.
