    How do you know which armrest is yours in the movie theaters?
    If you say something is indescribable, isn't that describing it?
    If a Truck is loaded with Helium, would it weigh less than when it was empty? Wouldn't it get better fuel mileage?
    Why is it when we talk to God we are praying, but when God talks to us we are put into the loony bin?
    Why do mattresses have designs on them when they're always covered with sheets?
    If a singer sings their own song during a karaoke party, is it considered karaoke?
    If conjoined twins participate in sports, do they count as one or two players?
    Why can't you get a tan on your palms?
    If something "goes without saying," why do people still say it?
    If you were a genie and a person asked you this wish, "I wish you would not grant me this wish" what would you do?
    Why is "number" abbreviated as "no"? When there is no "o" in number?
    Why do they call the small candy bars the "fun sizes"? Wouldn't be more fun to
    eat a big one?
    If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?
    Do the air bubble s that are created when you fart in water, smell when they pop?
    Why is it when we laugh in school the teachers say do you find something funny? When obviously we do?
    Why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your
    thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going too?
    If the S.W.A.T team comes to your house and breaks down your door, do they replace it later?
    Can a blind man see his future?
    If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
    If you don't pay your exorcist, do you get repossessed?
    Is bad a bad word?

    During one of the classes today I pondered something, "How come school books never make the best sellers list". I am convinced that come late august more people buy "X" Schoolbook than number 5 book in the top ten best sellers.

    No it would weight more, as it would have the mass of the helium to deal with (it it was really empty there would be no air in it.)

    To hide the stains.

    It's not a matter of can't, it's that the hands are the more shield from the sun.

    From the Latin / Italian / French "numero".

    >> How do you know which armrest is yours in the movie theaters?
    They're both yours (the self-centred view of the universe)

    >> If a Truck is loaded with Helium, would it weigh less than when it was empty? Wouldn't it get better fuel mileage?
    Yes, but all the immigrants would have high-pitched voices

    >> Why is it when we talk to God we are praying, but when God talks to us we are put into the loony bin?
    That's just the kinid of cruel bastard that he is

    >> Why do mattresses have designs on them when they're always covered with sheets?
    The workers at the mattress factory actually had hopes of becoming artists

    >> Why do they call the small candy bars the "fun sizes"? Wouldn't be more fun to
    eat a big one?
    They're for parties so you don't have the expense of buying your friends real ones

    >> Do the air bubble s that are created when you fart in water, smell when they pop?

    How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
