What's another word for Thesaurus?
Who decided what order to put the alphabet in?
Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
Why are there locks on the door of the Esso Tigermart that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?
Why do they call them apartments when they are all stuck together?

If 75% of all accidents happen within 5 miles of home, why not move 10 miles away?

Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
They want to make money , they arent asking u to smoke it there...
Why are there locks on the door of the Esso Tigermart that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?
To prevent looting on those days when u just cant make it
Why do they call them apartments when they are all stuck together?
well becaz even tho they are stuck together um.. they are separated by walls... so... u nuh...lol they are kinda apart DWL
Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
[B]So that its convenient for blind ppl get a lift from their able frenz
If 75% of all accidents happen within 5 miles of home, why not move 10 miles away?
Um...it still wouldnt apply caz then home1 wouldnt be ur home when u move
Does a fish get cramps after eating?
No caz they are use to the pressure
You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes? Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same material?
A plane built to black box standards would be so heavy you'd have to drive it rather than fly.
Unlike the rest of the aircraft, which is mostly made of light materials such as aluminum and plastic, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder are encased in stainless steel boxes roughly 10 inches by 10 inches by 5. The steel is maybe a quarter inch thick and the boxes are so heavy in consequence that the designers don't even bother enclosing the accompanying electronics, which in a crash generally meet the same fate as the passengers. As an added precaution, the boxes are lined with a liquid-filled foam bladder encased in plastic that's supposed to protect against the intense heat of a post-crash fire.
If you see a heat wave, should you wave back?
Y not its seems like the polite thing to do
Why does sour cream have a 'best if used-by' date? Does it turn sweet?
Doubt it gets sweet but maybe after a while it will green n probably make u have active bowel movements

Not only that.....
Why is a boxing ring square?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the car pool lane?
Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream?
Can you cry under water?
Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you kept drying your clothes would they eventually just disappear?
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?
Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?
Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it?
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
Ever notice how irons have a setting for "permanent" press?
How come we never hear father-in-law joe-ks?
How do those dead bugs get into those closed light fixtures?

Why is a boxing ring square? Because a man designed it.
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the car pool lane? Why not, there are several bodies, just means that 1 is dead.
Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream? - Yep they dream and can see in their dream...all it takes is an imagination.
Can you cry under water? Yep...and you end up adding a few more drops.
Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you kept drying your clothes would they eventually just disappear? Nah, you usually end up discarding them before it gets to that stage.
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? Yeah well I would get mad too if someone blew in my face.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? I think the only effect they are concern about is the effect it has on their stomach and taste.
Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? Scientist say that married ppl live longer and I suppose they investigate by looking at the actual number of year they live.
Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it? What does a clean house have to do with a broken computer? You can have a clean house and perfectly working computer, just depends on the individual.
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? Try it and time it.
Ever notice how irons have a setting for "permanent" press? Not all do.
How come we never hear father-in-law joe-ks? Well that's because joe-ks aren't really funny? They should try jokes instead?
How do those dead bugs get into those closed light fixtures? I suppose they went in before they died.
