Why Is It That...

Why is it that...
  • Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always ducked when someone threw a gun at him?
  • if man evolved from monkeys, we still have monkeys?
  • buttered bread always lands on the butter-side down, and a cat always lands on its fee?
  • it is necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
I'm just wondering, that's all...

What are you wondering about?

Have a joyful day everyone. And remember to live a flourishing life.

More Ponderisms... (yes, again!)

I blame my love of ponderisms on my philosophy education. As I said to the accreditation reviewer during my sophomore years of college: Where else can you sit around discussing whether a rock has a mind and get a college degree?
  • If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?
  • Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
  • Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
And here's one from our 40th president:
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

More Ponderisms....

Here are a few more thoughts to ponder...

  • If you're driving at the speed of light and turn on your headlights, what happens?
  • How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
  • What disease did cured ham actually have?
  • Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
  • Why are you 'in' a movie, but you're 'on' television?
Have a joyful day everyone. - Rita

Ponderisms

Ponder
verb [ trans. ]
think about (something) carefully, esp. before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.

Ponderisms -- Observational humor.

Jerry Seinfeld is renown for this type of humor, as was the late George Carlin.

Here are a few of my favorites....
  • I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
  • 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?"
  • Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
  • How do you know when you're out of invisible ink?
  • Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
