How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Life is sexually transmitted.

There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Because the author of "Bah Bah Black Sheep" didn't copyright it?

Why is it when I wind up a watch, I start it -- but when I wind up an essay, I finish it?

(If only I could read data off this PC Card that I have -- I had a whole article on the English language, and it asked a bunch of these questions).

EDIT: OK, turns out I didn't have the whole article on there -- but here's a few more points to ponder:

When something is "new and improved", which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

People who are willing to get off their butt to search the room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

When people say "It's always in the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

When people say, while watching a movie "Did you see that?" No I paid $8.50 to come to the theatre and stare at that thing over there. What did you come here for?

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

Who was the first person to look at a bunch of water that had been sitting under a bunch of grain that had gotten rotten, and decided that it might be a tasty drink? Beer!

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? I'm adding this to the list of "WTF" questions to ask God some day.

Why is it teenagers will spend $669 on a car & $966 on it's sound system?

Why is it people will pay $400 in gas per vaccation, and not buy $400 in airline tickets?

Why do people classify being "poor" as spending $3 for shake n bake, $3 for chicken, $3 for vegetables, and $2 for rice, and classify anyone who buys a steak dinner for $12 at a Longhorn, rich?

Why does it take 2 days to get into America, and over 2 months to get out?

Why do cops pull over a car doing 80mph on a 70mph high way, in the middle of nowhere, and not arrest someone J-walking downtown?

Why does a box of 10 floppies cost upwards of $6, yet a container of 30 CD-R's costs only $7.50?

Why is it the fastest car on the road is driven by the slowest driver on the road?

Why must you un-recline your seat on an airliner, when the seat only reclines 4 damn inches anyways?

Why is it you can't get any sleep on the safest form of transportation (airplane), yet you can fall asleep in the most dangerous transportation (car)?

Why is it you buy a game with 3 CD's thats $40, and the exact same game, in DVD form, with 1 disc, for $50?

Why is it you can eat a whole can of baked beans, and not get one bit of gas, yet you eat one piece of Walmart Rotisserie Chicken, and you can strip the varnish off a foot locker?

How can we put a man on the moon & still pay $2.50 at the pump?

Why are there products with home-made labels, that contain dried & concentrated ingriedients?

Why am I fined for going 65mph in a construction zone that hasn't had any progress in the last 6 months?

Thats my list.
