Ponder these...

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? :!:

If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

If a cow laughed real hard, would milk come out her nose? :-?

If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan?

If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? :?: :!:

You know how most packages say "Open here." What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo? :twisted:

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance? ;-)

few more to ponder............

What is the speed of darkness? (Absurd) :-?

Why do people say, "you've been working like a dog" when dogs just sit around all day? (I think they meant something else)

Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed? :?:

What should one call a male ladybird? (No comments)

If a person suffered from amnesia and then was cured would they remember that they forgot? ops:

Why is it called a "building" when it is already built? (Strange isn't it)

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?

Why is "dyslexia" such a hard word to spell ?

Is the grass even greener on the other side ?
