A few questions to ponder:

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are going dead?

Why do banks charge a fee for insufficient funds when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check to make sure when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Who's idea was it to put an "s" in the word lisp?

Why is that no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

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 cleaner one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat back then in the first place?

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

And last but not least...WHY IS THIS CICADA CRAWLING UP THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING??????

  1. Ack! I am going to ponder about Tarzan's beard all night...

    As for the creepy bugs - So that's what those things are!! The trail here is littered with their dead bodies. Shiny green bugs... sort of look like horseflies on massive steriods. But ugh, creepy!
