Why…

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

Why do banks charge a fee on '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 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?:huh:

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 you try 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?

And my FAVORITE....

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your threebest friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
 
There's some very good ones there!
But the ape one has me thinking.....
 
I have to add one more. "Why do we always get in the wrong line at checkouts or the bank". Or is it just me? You get in the short lane and you are still standing there when everyone in the long line is gone.:mad:
 
Great list. We recently got a pellet stove and now try to keep the house at a temp that we would consider too warm in the summer.

I wondered why we do that. Maybe it is because in the winter we have experienced true cold and take comfort from warmth perhaps even going to a bit of excess, to reassure ourselves that we will not soon be that cold.

And flip the rational for the summer months.

But heck if I know.

All I know about psychology is what I learned in Psych 101, and that was taught by someone whom we believed should have been teaching in a straight jacket.

But the list is great. Needed a chuckle, thanks a lot.
 
Funny stuff! I have often wondered that about mattress sales...and furniture. I figure if there ever was such a day, they'd celebrate it by having a sale.

Same here. Specifically I thought, "People actually think that's what the theory of human evolution states?'"
