Smile Awhile

Makes one wonder...Why, Why, Why

  1. Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
  2. Why does someone believe you when you say there are 4 billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
  3. Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
  4. Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
  5. Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
  6. Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
  7. Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
  8. If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
  9. Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
  10. Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
  11. Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
  12. Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
  13. Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
  14. How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
