If you try to fail and succeed, what have
you done? You have successfully failed.
How is it one careless match can start a
forest fire, but it takes a whole box to
start a campfire? That one really depends on what kind of matches.
Why is the time when the traffic is slowest
called rush-hour? Because it's the hour when everyone is rushing home, congesting the freeways
What's the speed of dark? Darkness has no speed. It is the absence of light therefore nothing is there.
If physics can predict lottery numbers,
why are they still working? Show me proof.
If you run backwards will you gain weight? No, in fact if you run far enough you may actually lose weight.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you need to
buy her friends? Because it's a toy and you have to make the manufacturer richer.
What happens when you get scared
half-to-death twice? Unless you get scared half to death twice IN A ROW, nothing.
Can a blind person feel blue? Yeah, why wouldn't they feel sad?
How can a house burn up when it burns
down? I'll get back to you...
Are you telling the truth when you lie in
bed? no, you are still considered lying, twice...
If your vacuum cleaner really sucks, is it a
bad thing? Not unless you want a dirty carpet.
How do you know when a Smurf
suffocates? He stops breathing and struggling...
Despite the cost of living, why does it
remain so popular? Cost of living refers to how expensive it is to sustain yourself.
If a word in a dictionary is misspelled, how
would you know? Look it up online. Come on, use more than one source.
In Chinese why are the words for crisis
and opportunity the same? They ran out of words.
Why does X stand for a kiss? The use of XOXO goes back to the use of an X or cross, which was considered as good as a sworn oath in times before most people could write and therefore used the X in the same way a signature is used today — a mark of one's word. An X at the end of a letter or document was often kissed as a seal of honesty, in much the same way one would kiss a Bible or kiss the fingers after making the sign of the Christian cross. Thus the X came to represent a kiss in modern times.
Why does O stand for a hug? The origins of the O as a hug are not generally known, although it is speculated that it may represent the arms wrapped around someone being hugged.
Why is the alphabet in that order? Ask the antient romans who assembled the Latin Alphabet.
How does skating on thin ice get you into
hot water? That's a figure of speech. Skating on thin ice means you are asking for trouble and being in hot water means you are in trouble.
Why are they called stands when there
made for sitting? I'm not sure this makes sense.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make
the unexpected expected? Absolutely.
When cheese gets its picture taken what
does it say? Nothing, cheese is an inanimate object.
Why are they called non-stick pans? Is there a law saying your not allowed to put sticks in them? No it refers to the teflon coating so as to resist foods from sticking to them.
Why are a wise-man and a wise-guy
opposites? Yes, wise-man is wise, wise-guy is a smart a$$.
If work is so terrific how come they have
to pay you to do it? I beg you to find me someone who says work is terrific...
Should crematoriums give discounts for
those who died in fires? I think so. They're jobs like half done already.
Is it possible to have a civil-war? I know what your saying... um... technically no.
If the #2 pencil the most popular, why is it
still #2? The number refers to the softness of the graphite and blodness of the marking. A #1 pencil has harder graphite yet it's marking is less bold.
Do tea makers have coffee breaks? Only if they drink coffee.
Can fat people go skinny-dipping? Yes, if your swimming naked, as disgusting as you may be, you are skinny-dipping.
Why do they announce power shortages
on TV? Just in case you still have power, you will be aware of the situation and can make appropriate preparations.
Do you need a silencer when you shoot a
mime? Only if you don't want anyone to notice.
Why do you press harder on the
remote-control when you know the
battery is dead? Laziness. You don't want to have to go find replacement batteries.
How can batteries die? Once again, a figure of speech for batteries that are "out of juice".
If its zero degrees tonight, and tomorrow
its meant to be twice as cold, how cold
will it be? Arrg!
Why are buildings called buildings when
there finished? Shouldn't they be called
builts? If you really want to take it literally, yes.
Why is abbreviated such a long word? I'm getting frustrated now....
Why is it that when you tell a man there
are 400 billion stars he will believe you, but
when you tell him there's wet paint he has
to touch it? Because he can actually touch the wet paint as opposed to spending a lifetime counting 400 billion stars.
Who's cruel idea was it to put a 'S' in 'lisp'? I couldnt' find the answer.
Do you find it unnerving that what doctors
do is called 'practice'? Not really, practice makes perfect.
Would a fly without wings be called a
walk? yes?
If a turtle doesn't have a shell is it
homeless or naked? A little of both I would think.
Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? Yes, I don't think they have any meat products in them.
Why do they sterilize needles for lethal
injections? Yeah, I don't know. Seems kinda useless to me. Maybe it's just force of habit....
