got this email from a buddy on WHY humans do things ..



Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

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

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 glue stick to the bottle?

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?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it 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 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?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

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?

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




Some of this is very true!

I don't believe we came from apes, I don't believe dinosaurs roamed the earth 100 million years ago either....I just can't believe this earth was here 100 million years ago...it doesn't add up.

100 million years goes by and it just so happens that at this point in earth history, (basiclly the past 100 years) this tiny microscopic point in the earths history and we just happen to be here now at the right place at the right time.

you sound like a "young earth creationist". i happen to be a creationist who is torn between the old earth and young earth views. lot of valid points for both...havent made up my mind.

regarding the insufficient funds fee...banks need to charge that to deter the moron who just overdrew their account from doing it again. the next time you make a deposit, the fee is deducted. adds up quick and is a good money maker for the banks. think of it as a moron-tax...same as the taxes people pay on cigarettes or at the race track.

Why do we press the up or down button for the elevator when it is taking a long time and is already lit? Do we think it didn't work to press it the first time?

LMAO. I do that shit, too.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Why do we drive on parkways, and park on driveways?

Why are they called 'apartments' but they are all stuck together?

Why are there personal floatation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

If con is the opposite of pro, is CONgress the opposite of PROgress?

If nothing sticks to Teflon, how does Teflon stick to the pan?

Why do they put Braille dots on the number pad of drive-up ATM's?

When you transport something by car it's a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's cargo.

If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

My favorite is still the vaccuum one. LOL

Much along the lines of the elevator button obsession; at least once a week I see a pedestrian at a crosswalk slam the button to cross a half a dozen times. As if the the extra five hits makes the light change faster.
(BTW, those buttons are just for looks. do nothing and you will get the same result except late at night)
