[wisewood]

i had that on email a while ago.. VERY funny stuff in there ;)

:lol:





some of them can actually be answered though.

[Ben (lurk75)]

Yeah ive had it twice now, this time was from my sister and she is a bit slow.

I can answer a few of them as well, still funny though.

[?Marty?]

1. Why does your gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed?
> Out of respect and to put you at ease.

>2. If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the
>core of the earth?
> No.

>3. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
> They can, but why open your mouth to put on mascara? That'd just be stupid. Plus, when people are concentrating on something, other muscles which are inactive relax. Hence the mouth is closed.

>4. Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your ar$e?
> Yes. If you can't, then you'r arms aren't strong enough to do it without swinging the rest of your body/hips.

>5. Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing
>you do is stand up and say, 'My name is Bob, and I am an alcoholic'?
> Anonymous to people that do not attend. You do not have to give your real name either.

>6. If you mated a bulldog and a sh:tsu, would it be called a bullsh:t?
> No. It would be called whatever the first person to do it would decide to call it.

>7. Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?
> Stairs is usually a plural. A series of steps, which is most often used inside. i.e. to go up to another floor. People go upstairs, to another floor. i.e. somehting above. There are no floors outside.
BUT A 'step' is something, such as a ledge or an offset, that resembles a step of a stairway. Hence anything outside.

>8. Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
> Because of the difference in the way that things are stored in each of those two.

>9. Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for
>centuries' have a 'use by' date?
>
>10. Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
>horrible crisp no one would eat?
> Because some people do eat toast like that. Also, that's why there's a dial to turn it down. And a cancel button. You make it so it gets so hot that it burns, then keep turning it down till it is right for your preference to cook the toast in one go. Otherwise it may not be high enough and so you would just have to keep putting the same slice in over and over till it does toast.

>11. Is French kissing in France just called kissing?
>Yes. 'French' kissing is just a reference to a style of kissing which is/was most widely used in france.

>12. Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll
>squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out'?
> It's not 'who' but 'why' that's the interesting/important thing. The person who may have observed a cow feeding it's offspring, and though hmmmmmm, that thing is big and may produce enough to feed a person. Evolution. The same could be said about almsot everything.

>13. What do people in China call their good plates?
> Word History: Our term china for porcelain or ceramic ware is a shortening of chinaware and probably china dishes. Although the word china is identical in spelling to the name of the country, there are 16th- and 17th-century spellings like chiney, cheny, and cheney that reflect the borrowing into English of the Persian term for this porcelain, chn. The Persian word and the Sanskrit word cn, "Chinese people," which gave us the English name for the country, go back to the Chinese word Q?n, the name of the dynasty that ruled China from 221 to 206 B.C.

>14. If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a
>coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
> Can or can't, or choice?
Can a butcher perform brain surgery?

>15. Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time,
>but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?
> Because a 'bathroom' isn't just used for one purpose. Would you point at your arse if you want a shit? It's to do with manners and politeness. A watch is universally worn on a wrist. You can ask just about anyone for the time, but you wouldn't walk up to a starnger in the street and ask to go to their house to use the bathroom.

>16. Why does goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?
>They're both dogs!
> It's a cartoon. Why does donald duck talk?

>17. What do you call male ballerinas?
> A ballet dancer.

>18. Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream??
> Yes they do dream. What they actually see, depends on whether they were born blind, and their perception of things dependent on other senses.

>19. If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme
>crap, why couldn't he just buy dinner?
> Is there dinner for sale? Mayb he just wants to kill road runner, not just eat him.

>20. Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?
> One that acts as an agent for others, as in negotiating contracts, purchases, or sales in return for a fee or commission is called a Broker. The word originates from a notion shared by the Spanish (alboroque) and Anglo-Norman (brocour, abrocour) words to make 'brocour', because brocour referred to the middleman in transactions. The English word broker is first found in Middle English in 1355, several centuries before we find instances of its familiar compounds pawnbroker, first recorded in 1687, and stockbroker, first recorded in 1706.

>21. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
> Testing.

>22. If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from
>vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
> The previous two normally state 'made from'. The last i only a name. Is shephards pie made from real shephards? No. Look at the ingredients list.

>23. If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear
>him,is he still wrong?
> It is the facts of what he is talking about that makes the difference, not the location. A lie told in an empty room doesn't become the truth.

>24. Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion
>stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you
>there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?
>Paint dries. Whether it's wet is subject to variables i.e. time, temperature. Wet OR dry. Over a billion is an estimate, and no one is going to count. You can touch paint.

>25. Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
> Yes. Unless you have to 'make literature' with the letters before you can eat them.

>26. Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the
>hemisphere, but call it a haemorrhoid when it's in your @ss?
> Becasue one and the other are two totally different things. It's just a play on words.

>27. Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he
>gets mad at you but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his
>head out the window?
>Yes. But there are two different reasons for that. The dog may stick it's head out the window because it is hot in the car and etc. When you blow in it's face, it gets mad as it's a natural predatory reaction.

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

Which sad person watches Elephants 24/7 to find that out? How do you know they don't play jackass from time to time?
