Why do all truck names have something to do with the Western states? You know: Lariat, Scottsdale, Laramie, Tahoe, Durango, etc... I guess we'll never see a Ford Montpelier, a Dodge Albany, or a Chevy Bangor......

Wonder why a doctor gets more money to practice but a mechanic get less to actuall fix something.
Diagnosing an automobile is a lot like diagnosing a patient.
You listen to the person describe the symptoms, then you take sample readings, compare them to a known base, then evaluate the treatment.

doctors, hmph!

Why do they call the people in charge of everything outdoors The Department of the Interior?

If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?

Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? The guy who wrote that song wrote everything.

What's another word for Thesaurus?

After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?


Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? the uv rays bleach out pigment

Why don’t you ever see the headline “Psychic Wins Lottery”? theres no such thing as psycics

Why is “abbreviated” such a long word? to confuse you

Why is it that doctors call what they do “practice”? because they are still figuring out new ways to treat IE: practice

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? artificial flavors are cheaper and wont ferment or go bad at room temp, dishwashing liquid is made from citrus OIL which wont go bad

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Irony is my guess

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? because its when the most traffic is rushing to get from one place to the next

Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food? cats dont like the taste of mice its the actual hunt and kill that stimulates them to kill mice, the eating part happens some of the time

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? dogs of course

Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes? this is a damn good question

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? liability and human rights issues

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that stuff? because the black box is made of heavy gauge steel and lead, the weight wouldnt allow the plane to leave the ground. even if they could power it up enough to get airborn the fuel costs would make ticket prices sky high

Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains? the same reason your hair dont, its alive and untreated

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? yet another good one

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? well by looking at alot of the new laws i would say yes

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? terminal means the same as parking lot to airplanes its like saying i used a SAW for the board and saying i SAW jason today..you didnt use a saw on your friend jason..

This killed about 20 min of work time thanks

The hotdog is called suck because back in the early 1900's they were nicknamed "hot docksons" (or however you spell that wiener lookin' dog's name) and there was a cartoonist who didn't know how to spell it (ironic no?) so he called it a hot dog

And, I would put my answer to the "chicken/egg" question, but I thought we weren't supposed to discuss religion here (as someone already has)...j
