did you ever wonder
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Would a fly without wings be called a walk? You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"? Can fat people go skinny-dipping? After eating, do amphibians have to wait an hour before getting out of the water? 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? Are there seeing eye humans for blind dogs? Have ex-bankers become disinterested? Have ex-civil lawyers been distorted? Have ex-locomotive engineers been derailed? Have ex-mathematicians become dysfunctional? Have ex-punsters been expunged? How come toy hippos are always blue, or purple, when real hippos are brown? Why is it that whenever you sing to the radio, your voice is higher? Even when you have a low voice? Why is most lunchmeat bigger than the bread? Is there a certain temperature at which it stops being qualified as cold? At what temperature does it qualify as hot? If you were a pastor, and you were getting married, would you hire a pastor, or would you do the wedding yourself? Why is Joey short for Joe, when Joey has more letters? Can someone have their head in the clouds and be down-to-earth at the same time? If a person suffered from amnesia and then was cured would they remember that they forgot? If you died with braces on would they take them off? Why do mattresses have designs on them when they're always covered with sheets? If a singer sings their own song during a karaoke party, is it considered karaoke? If conjoined twins participate in sports, do they count as one or two players? Why is shampoo clear but conditioner not? Do cows have calf muscles? How come French fries are not considered a vegetable, they are just deep fried potatoes? Do babies produce more spit than adults? Why do they say "an alarm going off," if it is really going on?

Re: did you ever wonder
Oooo you encourage me to post more
Why is the blackboard green? Why do they call it a black light when it's really purple? Why do hotdogs come in packs of 8 when hotdog rolls come in packs of 10? What do you call male ballerinas? How come the sun makes your skin darker but your hair lighter? If you dig a tunnel straight through the earth, will you come out with your feet first? Why are pennies bigger than dimes? Did they have antiques in the olden days? Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes? If Pringles are "so good that once you pop, you can't stop" why do they come with a resealable lid? Is a sleeping bag a nap sack? What came first, the fruit or the color orange? Where does the white go when the snow melts? Can blind people see their dreams? If there's an exception to every rule, is there an exception to that rule? Why do you click on start to exit Microsoft Windows? Have you ever wondered why Trix are only for kids? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?
