Serious Questions?
Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?
Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? Why do 'tug' boats push their barges? Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting? Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? Doesn't 'expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? Why are a 'wise man' and a 'wise guy' opposites? Why do 'overlook' and 'oversee' mean opposite things? Why is phonics not spelled the way it sounds? If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? Why is bra singular and panties plural? Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? How come abbreviated is such a long word? |

Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? Vacuum's actually dont suck, they pump the air so the air pressure on the outside is higher or something so it pushes stuff into the bag.
Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? because it measure's seconds. It's a totally different word, just happens to be spelt the same If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? Why do 'tug' boats push their barges? Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting? cause they stand above the pitch? Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? because it's after the dark has started? Doesn't 'expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? Why are a 'wise man' and a 'wise guy' opposites? Why do 'overlook' and 'oversee' mean opposite things? Why is phonics not spelled the way it sounds? isn't it phonetics? If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? no Why is bra singular and panties plural? Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? cos i'm stupid Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? How come abbreviated is such a long word? cause they haven't abbreviated it? |

Hey there sports fans
1. it is good coz it helps get the muck off your floor 2. I answered (kinda) 3. maybe he woz chums with the ppl who invented them, & he invented some. or copied another dictionary guy 4. whack = slang for "thats the shit" for eg, "that shits whack" 5. If they dont who will? 6. coz they do the standing for you 7. a time when just passed the middle, & is divided into 2 times 8. yes it does, except u dunno when 9. a man will be the genuine upper class male, guy will be the jordy 10. look is to try to see & see is to actually see 11. it's spelt the way it should pronounce, or the 1st ever time written it woz spelt wrong 12. who says work is terrific? If they dont get paid then it could result in dept problems 13. If the world is a stage, then we'd be the audience if not knowing wot we're doing 14. for things that you find on the street at night, plus after the ninties it kinda hit that spot 15. no, you silly man 16. well what would you prefer them to be? 17. sometimes works, some remotes "like mine" you can take the battery's out & it still works from a wee bit 18. because you have the perfect size for a suit in there, & you dont want garments to ruin it 19. coz the person who invented it woznt simple Chow ding |
