Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?

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 isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Wow good stuff unflux :P

Here's one!...

Why do they call them near misses?! Surely if the plane nearly missed it would have crashed?

I've always wondered:

Disgruntled

meaning not gruntled

how do you get gruntled, and why are these postal workers losing their gruntleness?

is gruntle something that can be bought? maybe it is a spiritual plateau...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
different pigments

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
do women ever close their mouth? just kidding!

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Ask any one of them and you will get "it doesn't work like that"

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Think of it like a whacking stick, use the big word to whack the smaller word into a smaller piece.

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Well doctors never really know for sure whats going on, they just take a shot and hope they get it... so it is practice.

Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?
You need to start an action to end an action

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Lemons are sour, bitter, and acidic, apparently good for destroying dirt and grime, but not good for drinking.

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Invest = Spend = getting broke

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Everyone is rushing to get home, which causes an overflow of people which causes slow traffic.

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
PeTA

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
Assuming they make dogs test it, if more dogs like it (eat it) it must taste better than before right? ;)

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
He was instructed to save 2 of every creature :sigh:

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
Just because you are dying doesn't mean you need to be dirty... sheesh.

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Meh, i'm not so sure that little black box is indestructable, just very well protected maybe?

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Sheep aren't 100% wool you know :sure:

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
Because even though they are all together, they are divided apart into different "homes"

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
Yes

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
Perhaps the airport itself isn't so safe.




















Well I tried my hand and rationalizing these conundrums :d:

Actually, the indestructible black box... They don't make planes out of the same material because the metal is far too heavy. The aircraft would never get off the ground. ;)
