Page 1 of why?

especially for nickthegun... :p

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn`t glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn`t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what colour bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It`s all right?" Well, it isn`t all right, so why don`t we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that`s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

And my FAVOURITE......

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they`re okay, then it`s you

Human nature, if we don`t keep trying things nothing would ever have been invented.

so they can claim £6.3bn in profit.

They don`t, but it would take too long to count. Now the paint they can check.

Quote:

Chemical reactions.

Quote:
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Nobody makes unsterilised needles.

Quote:
Why doesn`t Tarzan have a beard?

Willing suspence of disbelief. Also Jane complained about scratchyness.

Quote:
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Superman isn`t real. Maybe it was Christopher Reeve that ducked.

Quote:
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Well, helmetsprotect your head, so the pilot wouldn`t be much good if he died from a head injury before he managed to crash his plane.

Quote:

No idea.

Quote:

people didn`t eveolve from any apes alive today.

The film of a bubble is too thin to reflect a solid colour, but some clever git (see remote control question) has figured it out. http://www.popsci.com/popsci/science/0a03b5108e097010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html

Quote:

I didn`t see any mattreses for sale today, therefore there were none on sale.

Quote:

See remote control question.

Quote:

See refridgerator question.

Quote:

No, i think thats just you.

Quote:

They aren`t enclosed.

Quote:

Politeness.

Quote:

Clumsiness.

Quote:

My house is cool in summer and comfortable in winter.

Try leaving food in there long enough and something else will materialize.
Edible but maybe not tasty


Cats always land on their feet

Toast always lands butterside down

What happens if you strap a slice of toast to the back of a cat and chuck it out of the window?
