Things that don't make sense.

When we moved into our house the towel racks weren't yet installed. I took the materials and installed them myself making all the racks 32". The square tube was in 8' lengths. My wife wants them replaced with something nicer, some are bent and I can't find the 8' square tube. Well Towel Racks are 24", since Bath towels are 27" or 30" wide, and studs are 32" on center this makes no sense.

The studs should be on 16" centers. Are you sure you aren't missing some?

Should have said 16" centers with 32" span. If you fold a wet towel over it will sour and I do control humidity in the house with a varible speed DC drive fan in the AC unit.

Why run your dc fan in your ac unit to control the humidy in your bathroom $$$, turn on your bath fan. 45 minutes after a shower is recommended. Unless you live in a hot state and your running your ac anyway?

Why do we park on Driveways and drive on Parkways?

What does Geronimo say when he jumps out of a plane?

Cat's land on there feet, buttered toast lands buttered side down, what would happen if you tape a peice of buttered toast to a cats back?

You need a license to buy beer but you can't drink and drive.

Why are "APARTments" all stuck together?

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

Why are there Interstate Highways in Hawaii?

Why do we laugh at this stuff?
