cmb23 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If a man with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself...is it considered a hostage situation? And if he did kill himself...could he be tried for murder? Why do we pay for a TV 'set' when we only get one? How is it that 'fat' and 'slim' are complete opposites, but 'fat chance' and 'slim chance' mean the same thing? Why is there braille on the keypads of drive-through ATM's? Is it possible to 'draw' a blank? How come if you send something by a wheeled vehicle it is called a 'shipment' but if you transport it on a boat it is considered 'cargo'? If two things almost hit each other, how come it is called a 'near miss'...shouldn't it be a 'near hit'? What is another word for 'synonym'? If there was a species of a 'fly' that had no wings, would we call it a 'walk'? If it is illegal to drink and drive....why do you need a driver's license to buy alcohol and why are there parking lots at all bars? If nothing sticks to 'teflon' then how does it stay on the pan? Why do they call them 'grandstands' if you are expected to sit? And finally... What if there were no hypothetical questions? Quote Link to comment

One other thing I don't get is you have to be 21 to rent a car, and that's the same age you can legally drink Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I love these.....thanks for the thought provoking questions... A little off of the topic, but maybe a "thinker"..... I believe that there are too many "reality TV shows".... My idea...... All of the reality tv shows should enter a contest... each show gets a 5 minute segment during the 1 hour weekly show....at the end of the hour, America will vote 1 reality show off of the air.... at the end of the contest, we would only have to deal with 1 reality show for now on...

AR Husker Fan Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Okay, here's an old one from George Carlin: "If God is all-powerful, can he make a rock so big even he can't pick it up?" Quote Link to comment
