Questions to Ponder

by Heather

After successfully signing all of my paperwork 7/27 this morning, I gladly welcomed myself to Wednesday and decided it’s clearly been too long since I celebrated Wine Wednesday. So go pour yourself a glass of wine (or grab a beer…or water…I don’t discriminate) and join. Go ahead, I’ll wait….

glass red wine

Ready? Ok. Now it’s time to sip our wine and muse over some ridiculous-email-forwarded questions:


Why
does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?



Why
can’t women put
on mascara with their mouth closed?



Why
don’t you ever see the headline ‘Psychic Wins Lottery’?



Why
is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?



Why
is it that doctors call what they do ‘practice’?



Why
is lemon juice made with artificial flavor,

and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?


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



Why
is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?


Why
isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?



Why
do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?


You
know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don’t they
make the whole plane out of that stuff?!


Why
don’t sheep shrink when it rains?


Why
are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?


Go ahead and groan if you want, but you know most of them are truly ponder-worthy. ;) My favorite is the dishwashing lemons one.

I agree with the lemon one, that really is something to think about haha.

A few of these I know the answer to but I really don’t feel like spoiling the fun in it for everyone else. I like the post though, really thought provoking to go along with my tall bottle of water ;)

Hmm… I think I might have to go open a bottle of wine to go along with these…

Forwarded emails like that are fun. I loved it! My favorite was the broker and the sheep ones.
