How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

If money doesn't grow on trees why do banks have branches?

Bread is square. Why is sandwich meat round?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny" for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

Once you're in heaven do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What did cured ham actually have?

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory will they fire you?

Why are you IN a movie but your ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

How come we choose from just two people for President and 50 for Miss America?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

and finally...


How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Would you care to add something that's been puzzeling you?

Chew on this one : The anal canal of the donkey is round

but the dung is oblong and the edges are curved. Baffled

animal !
