The Book of Why

"The Book of Why"

Why do we press harder on a remote control
when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient
funds" when they know there is not enough?

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 do they use sterilized needles for death
by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his
chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver
at him?

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 stupid 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.
