Why?
Shamefully borrowed from another board ...
Why, Why, Why
do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
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 do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That hurt, you idiot?'
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......
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're okay, then it's you

Why does Tom Cruise get to be in movies with real actors like Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman, and Robert Duvall?

Re: Why?
Tee hee hee, I love it! :rofl:
I wish I could think of more... but of course I can't be creative on the spur of the moment. Okay, here's one that bugs me?
Why do we say, "I could care less," when what we really mean is, "I couldn't care less"? (If you could care less, that means you at least care a *little* bit!)

Amen! The courtroom scene with him and Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men? Jack just totally blew him out of the water

Re: Why?
Why do people go into Burger King and ask for a Big Mac?
Why do people go into McDonalds and order a Whopper?
Why do people go to an Italian restaurant and then become upset that their hankering for corned beef and cabbage cannot be fulfilled?
and
Why do we insist on making a purchase when the box says "Some Assumbly Required" ? And after we get whatever it is home, we dump out approximately 87 individual pieces, read the instructions in broken English, and find that at least 5 of the pieces are missing, 2 bear no resemblance to the diagram, and 1 is bent, And then, WHY do we continue to look for the pieces that aren't there and never were, holding the box up to our eye so in case the piece is still in the box it will hit us in the eyeball and blind us? And, invariably, WHY do we then shake the box so just in case we missed something, it will fall out of the box and either (a) embed itself in the rug, (b) roll under the couch, or (c) be promptly eaten by the dog?
WHY oh WHY oh WHY ???

Re: Why?
If it arrives on a truck, it's a shipment.
If it arrives on a boat, it's cargo.
Why?

Why, when I'm waiting for the elevator and have already pressed the button which is lit up to indicate that I have pressed the button, do you come along and press the button again? Do you think the elevator will come faster for you than for me??
