Ponder this.....

Don't you find it worrying that doctors call treating you their "practice" ?

Do they have the word "dictionary" in the dictionary?

What do you call a female daddy long legs?

If croutons are stale bread, why do they come in airtight packages?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

If a transport truck carrying a load of cars gets into a car accident, does it increase the number of the cars in the pile-up?

In France do people just ask for toast and get French toast? or do they have to ask for American toast?

Why is it called a "drive through" if you have to stop?

Why does mineral water that has "trickled through mountains for centuries" go out of date next year?

If Milli Vanilli fell in the woods, would someone else make a sound ?

Why are SOFTballs hard?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

Why are they called goose bumps? Do geese get people bumps?

Why is it that lemon dishsoap is made with real lemons, but lemon juice is artificial flavoring?

If you stole a pen from a bank then would it still be considered a bank robbery?

In Denmark they sell something called a 'French Hot Dog'. It is a german sauage stuck in the middle of a hollow bun. I've never seen them sold anywhere else, and certainly never in France where you usually get a Baguette, so I never understood that one!

Also, English Muffins! Until we had McDonalds over in England, no one ate them here, so why do Americans call them 'English'. Muffin buns here were always the same as in America, those cup-cake things!

Salt packets have an expiry date on them too. The world has gone mad!
