What's with the
people who put carpeting on the lid of their toilet seat?
What are they thinking -- "Gosh, if we have a party
there may not be enough standing room; I'd better carpet
the toilet too."
What's with this weird hotel custom of leaving a piece of
chocolate on the pillow? I awoke thinking my brain had
hemorrhaged some sort of fecal matter.
Have you ever noticed that the waiter who takes your
order is not the one who brings your food anymore? What
is THAT about? And which waiter are you tipping, anyway?
I think next time I go to a restaurant I'll just say,
"Oh, sorry, I only eat the food. The guy who pays
the bill will be along shortly."
Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say,
"No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye
Dogs?" Who is that sign for? Is it for the dog, or
the blind person?
Why do people give each other flowers? To celebrate
various important occasions, they're killing living
creatures? Why restrict it to plants? "Sweetheart,
let's make up. Have this deceased squirrel."
Can't we just get rid of wine lists? Do we really have to
be reminded every time we go out to a nice restaurant
that we have no idea what we are doing? Why don't they
just give us a trigonometry quiz with the menu?
If airline seat cushions are such great flotation
devices, why don't you ever see anyone take one to the
beach?
Why do they call it a "building"? It looks like
they're finished. Why isn't it a "built"?
Why is it when you turn on the TV you see ads for
telephone companies, and when you turn on the radio you
hear ads for TV shows, and when you get put on hold on
the phone you hear a radio station?
Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space
but okay to go the bathroom in a handicapped stall?
How come you have to pay someone to rotate your tires?
Isn't that the basic idea behind the wheel? Don't they
rotate on their own?
All the king's HORSES and all the king's men? Are you
kidding me? No wonder they couldn't put Humpty together
again. Just what did those idiots expect the horses to
do, anyway?
Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light,
that when the person in front of you pulls up a couple of
inches, you are compelled to move up too? Do we really
think we are making progress toward our destination?
"Whew, I thought we would be late, but now that I am
nine inches closer, I can stop for coffee and a
danish!"
Isn't it weird that we drink milk, stuff designed to
nourish baby cows? How did THAT happen? Did some
cattleman once say, "Oh, man, I can't wait till them
calves are done so I can get ME a hit of that
stuff."
Have you ever noticed how they keep improving your
laundry detergent, but they still can't get those blue
flakes out? Why do we trust them to get our clothes
clean? These guys can't even get the DETERGENT white!
Did you see these new minivan ads? All they talk about
are cup holders, kiddie seats and doors. What kind of
advertising is that? When you see an ad for a suit, do
they say, "And look at the zipper! Carefully hidden,
but easily accessible when you need it!" I think
not.
