Why ask why??? — 28 Comments

  1. The girlfriend was standing in front of the closet in bra and panties, excusr me, panty. I asked her why panties was used plural. She threw a at my head.

  2. Some answers:

    Cured ham: One of those same word different meanings. Such as fixed like a car or fixed like a cat questions.

    As Pinky said, “If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why does he keep doing it then?”

    For the toast one: For the same reason there are people who like very well done steak. Some people have the attitude if it’s smoking, its cooking. If it’s on fire, its done.

    As for apes: Because evolution says that humans come from a common ancestor species of apes. Divergent evolution allows both to continue to exist while the progenitor species has died out.

    Assassinated means killed for ideas they have and represent. Murdered means for stuff they have or actions they took.

  3. Oh, drat. 9 am and I’ve got “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” stuck in my head.

  4. And one more.

    Because the father in law has better aim.

  5. Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

    “True, he had seen pictures in his books of men with great masses of hair upon lip and cheek and chin, but, nevertheless, Tarzan was afraid. Almost daily he whetted his keen knife and scraped and whittled at his young beard to eradicate this degrading emblem of apehood.
    And so he learned to shave–rudely and painfully, it is true–but, nevertheless, effectively.”
    Edgar Rice Burrows

  6. Twinkle Twinkle:

    Scintillate, scintillate globule vivific,
    Fain would I fathom thy nature specific,
    Loftily poised in the ether capacious,
    Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous

  7. do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but I do.

  8. From what I recall, it’s “gimcrack corn”, not “Jimmy cracks corn”.

    “Corn” in this case is shorthand for corn whiskey. “Gimcrack” means cheap or shoddy.

    What what the refrain means is the songwriter has drunk so much moonshine he doesn’t care any more.

  9. SPE- LOL

    Joe- Good as any answers 🙂

    PH- LOL, sorry!

    WSF- 🙂

    Mrs.C- If he actually DID, he’d have scars all over his face… 😀

    LL- Heh

    Craig- You just HAD to do that, didn’t you… sigh

    CP- LOL, not EVEN going there…

    Rev- Yes they are!

    LL- Same here, actually replaced the batteries last night… sigh

    Timo- “That” is what I always thought it was too… Not that ‘I’ know anybody that made ‘shine… nope…

  10. My answer to most of your questions: because. Now my brain hurts. Very entertaining! LOL

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

    Because… THE PATRIARCHY! 😉

  12. “Why are we here?
    Because we’re here!
    Roll the Bones!”
    Neil Peart, “Roll the Bones”

  13. The bubble bath bubbles are white because there’s not enough dye in the soap to tint the surface area of the bubbles. Usually. I had the misfortune of encountering some bubble bath with sufficient dye to make tinted blue bubbles. It also stained skin, hair, tub… Don’t ask.

    Pizza boxes are square because it’s far cheaper, faster, and more efficient to create, ship, store, and fold a square box than a round one. I’m sure there’s a hipster pizza place out there somewhere that has a round box, and charges you outrageous prices for the “privilege.”

    There are plenty of father-in-law jokes. They usually contain shotguns and take place prior to the nupitals.

    Toasters do more than horribly burn toast. The high settings also quickly produce poptarts or other toaster pastries that are hot, filling, and too sweet for any human being older than 20 to stomach.
