WHY? WHY? WHY?
why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are dying?
why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is no money?
why dosent glue stick to the bottle?
why do they use sterilised needles for death by lethal injection?
why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet?
why dosent tarzan have a beard?
whose idea was it to put a 's' in the word lisp
why is it that no matter wot colour bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day when mattresses are not on sale?
why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new would have materialised?
why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with the vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up , examine it, then put it back down to give the vacuum another chance?
how do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixings?
when we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with the shopping trolley and then apologizes for doing so, why do we say "its allright"? Well it isnt allright, so why dont we say "that hurt you stupid idiot"
why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something thats falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
how come you never hear father in law jokes?
And my favourite......
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends - if they are ok then its you.

Re: WHY? WHY? WHY?
Why is it that when I did a spell check on my previous post, it recognized "isnt" was misspelled because I didnt use an apostrophe, Kareena as misspelled, but recognized "gonna" as spelled correctly when it's technically not even a word?

He's a VERY funny guy! A stand up comedian who made a career of making jokes about life's little ironies, exactly like the things you posted! And yours certainly made me laugh! Especially the "lisp" one!

Re: WHY? WHY? WHY?
why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are dying? It does sometimes work... We have also been conditionally trained to hit things when they don't work, some old electronics actually worked better that way.
why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is no money? The banks actually do this to keep you from spending more money than you have. That's why they made the credit card.
why doesn't glue stick to the bottle? There are two reasons for this: 1) the glue is moist when inside the sealed bottle, glue to hardens and sticks to any contacting items when the moisture is lost. 2) Most glues are stored in a polyethylene container (plastic) which are designed specifically to not react with anything else.
why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? Its one of those cruel and unusual punishment things. Imagine what would happen if the prisoner got sick and died after being pardoned at the last minute just because the person who was executed before you had AIDS.
why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet? Do you want to count to 4 Billion, let alone keep track of which stars you've counted. I've lasted to 11524 once (boring math class). However, something as simple as wet paint can easily be tested for ourselves.
why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? In the original story, Tarzan was rescued as a teenager, before puberty had finished development.
whose idea was it to put a 's' in the word lisp? Many words were formed based on what they were describing. Since lisp is describing a sound (say that with a lisp) it only makes sense that it would mimic the sound as part of its descriptive process.
why is it that no matter wot color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white? Whenever light moves from one medium to another (air to soap), part of the light reflects off of the surface called deflection and part of the light will pass through the medium, but bend the angle at which the light moves, called refraction. With the average size of a soap bubble being so small, the light refracts out of the bubble. The only light that we see is the light that has not been absorbed by the material, since we see all of the light reflecting off the bubbles, we see them as white, despite the color of the material the bubbles were made from.
Is there ever a day when mattresses are not on sale? No. If you can buy it, it's for sale. But they advertise it as being on sale just to get people in the door. Also, there are hundreds of different mattress models and hundreds of different stores that carry mattresses, so I'd be very surprised that there are any days that all the different mattresses models at all the stores do not have a sale.
why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new would have materialized? When the human brain suffers from a lack of energy, we stop thinking straight. Also, if we're hungry for anything specific that we don't have, we think that looking at the food we do have might help us to find the food we have to be appetizing.
why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with the vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up , examine it, then put it back down to give the vacuum another chance? I usually ball up the string and throw it out. The only reason the string isn't being sucked up by the vacuum is because the vacuum doesn't have the necessary suction, usually because the bag is full.
how do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixings? There are open holes in the light fixtures as ventilation for the heat that is produced from the light. Remember, heat rises.
when we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with the shopping trolley and then apologizes for doing so, why do we say "its allright"? Well it isnt allright, so why dont we say "that hurt you stupid idiot"? Yeah, I hate that. People are just too god damn polite! If they don't apologize, I tell them to Fuck Off like they deserve! Bwa Ha Ha!
why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something thats falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over? Take Tae Kwon Do and Hop Ki Do. You'll be more agile.
how come you never hear father in law jokes? They have those. Why do you think the guy is so afraid of meeting the girl's father? My brother almost married a nice girl, but the father-in-law kept at least two guns hidden nearby any place that he sat in the house. He made my grandfather look tolerant.
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends - if they are ok then its you. Yup, its me. And my friends. And their friends. The insane can recognize each other. Seriously, who wants to be normal?

LMAO ROTF!!! I actually name my pictures on my computer like a real photographer would, and that one is named Spiderman. I have another one in the series where I'm lifting up the ceiling tile, I called it: "Should That Bomb Be There?"
And yes, I do have too much time on my hands. I don't have a job and my wife is divorcing me. I'm almost done cleaning the place up, I just have one room left to clean, but I threw all of my junk in that room so it's going to take a few days.

And I still haven't touched anything in the One Room to Rule the All! Its such a mess right now, very difficult to walk through. Junk is literally just thrown on the ground, forget the boxes. Do you know why I haven't been able to clean up the room though...
There's no TV in it. (Or anything that can play music as I clean)

Re: WHY? WHY? WHY?
OH geez...I thought Grey's Anatomy was actually a set of Medical books???
I mean I know it's also a TV show, but I thought the name of the show was kinda played off the standard medical books by that same name...I dunno...just woke up from a nap and still have a bit of a vicodin hangover...

I think it's referring to the darkness of the graphite in the pencil, either that or the thickness, I can't remember which. I'm leaning towards the darkness...

The graphite composite in a #2 is softer than the #1 and so leaves more of the material on the paper making it bolder & darker.

Thanks Tungmeister, I was lazy and didn't feel like looking it up like all the other things I'm unsure of. At least I was mostly right, I just didn't have all the details on that one.
