Some
of the following might have appeared in my earlier posts, with 3648
Blogs so far I honestly can't remember & too much like work to
check; one or two may irritate, but I hope at least one or two will
make you chuckle.
1) Did you know, for instance, what the often said word 'jiffy' (the briefest moment) actually means? ~
** A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
** More people are killed annually by donkeys than die in air crashes.
** Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath once a year.
** No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver and purple.
** The United States has never lost a war in which mules were used.
** The only two nations whose name begins with an "A," but doesn't end in an "A," are Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.
** Duelling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.
2) I always have a head full of 'Why's. Here are some of them ~
** Why are boxing rings square?
** Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
** Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
** Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
** Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
** Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up, like, every two hours?
** Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
If you feel like answering any of these questions, please do.
