    Post Things to ponder......

    1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does
    he become disoriented?

    2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland
    called Holes?

    3. Why do we say something is out of whack? What's a whack?

    4. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

    cents in ... what happens to the other penny?

    8. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

    9. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread
    to begin with?

    10. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

    11. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who
    drives a race car not called a racist?

    12. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

    13. Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

    14. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

    15. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language.
    Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

    16. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow
    that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged,
    models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

    17. If FedEx and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

    18. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

    19. What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

    20. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more
    as they get older; then it dawned on me. They're cramming for their final
    exam.

    21. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons
    and forks so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?

    22. Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are
    we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on
    the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the
    mail?

    23. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the
    others here for?

    24. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

    25. No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning.

    26. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?

    27. Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went
    nuts.

    28. If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?

    29. Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

    30. Ever wonder about those people who spend $2 apiece on those little
    bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

    31. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing
    section in a swimming pool?

    32. If the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay
    Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs," what does that make the Tennessee
    Titans?

    33. If four out of five people SUFFER from diarrhea, does that mean that
    one enjoys it?

    34. There are three religious truths: -- Jews do not recognize Jesus as the
    Messiah.
    -- Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian
    faith.
    -- Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters.

    Those are all good. Anyone have any of their own?

    One thing that I've always pondered that I'll take credit for is:

    If you have a glass of ice water, and the ice melts, is it watered down?
