Why?
I received an email from a friend that contained the following questions that just make you shake your head in wonder and inspire laughter no matter how may times you her them?
Why do banks charge a fee due to insufficient funds; when they already know you're broke?
Why is it that when someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint you have to touch it to check?
Why do they use sterilized needles for lethal injections?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why is it that, no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people run over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it and then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

Do you have a favorite "Why do we/they do that?" question?
Please share with the class
Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did
I don't have any to add, but these were good, and started off my morning with a smile.
Why do they have a sign on post office doors saying, NO DOGS ALLOWED, except seeing eye dogs? Who's going to read the sign???
ALSO:
Why do the keys at drive through ATM machines have lettering in Braille?? (Sounds like a good place to avoid.)
Glad you enjoyed it

Braille keys in the drive through - that is a puzzler

We have all been through that one I bet
Gallagher would be proud ...
Why do Fools Fall in Love?
Exactly

Because it is lonely being afool these days?
Courtesy of Douglas Adams: Why are there instructions on a box of toothpicks?
Dear Friend Robert in Ohio: My Top Ten Why Inquiries:
Why do they lock the rest rooms in gasoline stations, yet leave the door to the room with the cash register wide open?
Why do we say, "I will be over your house soon"? Are we in a helicopter?
Why do we day, "I am on the telephone"? Would not our weight crush the appliance?
Why can we not deduct asbusiness losses the taxes we pay?
Why do we stay at motels so shabby that they steal our towels?
Why do we check into motels who sell picture post cards in the lobby of rooms with beds that are not made up?
Why do chambermaids knock on the door in the middle of the night when we check in late, and ask, "Would you like your sheets turned down"? Are mine too loud?
Why when they advertise they serve breakfast any time do they balk when I order it during the Jurassic Period?
Who gives me adiscount rate when I send a package that absolutely, positively doesn't have to bethere overnight?
Why do people ask, "May I ask a question" when they just did?
Peace, Intellectual Curiosity, and Abundant Blessings (But No Loud Sheets).

Sadly because there are many people who require those instructions in order to use the product without hurting themselves
Enoch
Excellent, insightful and interesting- these questions and all of your feedback
Thanks my friend
Enoch reminded me of one that I've always liked. Why does Map Quest put the first five instructions on their set of directions? I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my own neighborhood.
Dear Friend Robert in OH: You are most welcome, my good friend.
You brightened every onesday with a very creative, fun and thought provoking article.
We are all in your debt. No need to try collecting. Smiles.
Enoch.
Dear Friend TTG; Good point. It reminds me of times when people ask, "Do you want fries with that"?If I did, why would I have requesteda dry baked potato with my order?

Actually Robert, I think Enoch is going to have Jay's Diner send you one of their complimentary Ptomaine Burgers (they're complimentary because they can't get anybody to actually pay to eat one of them). You'll know when it arrives because the EPA will evacuate your entire block and the delivery man will be wearing one of the sterile suits borrowed from the NRC.
Robert, a little known secret is that my good friend Enoch and I, with the help of Boiling Water Goldstein, Chief Chef of Jay's, invented the Kosher Winnebagal. A delight for that trying to gain weight.
Kavika
Good to know
TTGA
I will keep my eyes peeled for the delivery guy
It will be a big thing around here as no one but Dominos delivers anything
That sounds like a set-up question for Hal ...
I've always liked the 'wet paint' story - so true. ...same for "wet floor." ;o

Why are the bubbles white instead of colored??? We have Net neutrality; now we have bath neutrality.

Dear Friend Kavika: That he did. Ah what I wouldn't give for a Winnebagel and lox, a can of Diet Moxie, a slice of Halavah, toasted fry bread, wild rice, a side of the three sisters (yellow squash, beans and corn). That with blueberries in a bowl, Sassafras tea and we are half way to heaven.

Excellent niijii. It could be the new ''Friday Special'' at Jay's.
We could name it the ''Free Leonard'' Lunch.
