* What if my dog only brings back the ball because he thinks I like throwing it?

* If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

* Which letter is silent in the word "Scent,” the S or the C?

* Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

* Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?

* Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and it just takes 75-100 years to work.

* Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.

* The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims."

* Intentionally losing a game of rock, paper, scissors is just as hard as trying to win.

* 100 years ago, everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

* Your future self is watching you right now through memories.

* The doctors that told Stephen Hawking he had two years to live in 1953 are probably dead.

* If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When," you get the answer to each of them.

* Many animals probably need glasses, but nobody knows it.

* If you rip a hole in a net, there are actually fewer holes in it than there were before.

* If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday, we'll just call it "2's Day." (It does fall on a Tuesday.)




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

If you dig a hole then fill it half in, isn't it still a whole hole?

An odd.

Because there is one on the table and one is an odd number.

Conversely looking at the 23 that fell you have an odd because 23 is an odd number.

Odd, isn't it?

What you see is the light reflected off of the object, not the object itself. An item being wet reduces the reflected/refracted light as more of it is absorbed.

No, it is a pit 'till you dig far enough to see a lot of fish or a small Chinese dude looking back at you from his factory floor.

You could take him to an animal optometrist. They can check and see if a lens replacement surgery is needed. Then you'll have to monitor his eye pressure every six weeks or so. (didn't see that coming)

So...

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck didn't give a fu darn?
