Perplexing Questions
For a change of pace, I am passing along some interesting questions that came to me in an email.
WHY do drugstores make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes by the front entrance?
WHY do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage?
WHY do we buy hot dogs in packages of 10 and buns in packages of eight?
WHY do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a diet coke?
WHY does the sun lighten your hair, but darken your skin?
WHY is “abbreviated” such a long word?
WHY is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dish washing liquid is made with real lemons?
WHY do doctors call what they do “practice?”
WHY is the time of day with the slowest traffic called “rush hour?”
WHY isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?
WHY are they called “apartments” when they are all stuck together?
WHY is the person who invests your money called a “broker?”
WHY do banks leave all their doors open, but chain their pens to the counters?
Ponder those while I call your attention to the fact that this coming Saturday, October 25 is MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY when an estimated three million people across the country are expected to come together to help others. I hope you will join this grass-roots effort in making our community a better place on the nation’s largest single day of volunteering.
