Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll
squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out"?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about
him?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut,
why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't
point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are
going to look up there anyway?

Why does goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're
both dogs!

What do you call male ballerinas?

Why ARE Trix only for kids?

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why
didn't he just buy dinner?

Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from
vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him,
is he still wrong?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but
call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your ass?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at
you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the
window?

I think you should ask Pturd, about the alphabets. He's a good

Let's see...Why does my ex wife stand erect while Pluto remains on all


fours? They're both dogs!

How's that?

If you had a nose that was 100 times more sensitive would you want to get a

On Sun, 01 Sep 2002 14:50:20 GMT, after hours of intense interrogation,
Mahakala <Mahaka...@buddhamail.removethis.net> finally admitted that:

>Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll
>squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out"?

Someone who secretly wanted to be a baby cow.

>Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
>horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

Actually that setting is for when the toaster gets older and more worn out
and doesn't toast as well as it did when it was new.

>Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Some freezers do have a light inside. The ones where the refrigerator and
freezer are side by side have a freezer light. Also bigger and more
expensive units amso have a freezer light some of the time.

> If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

To sell millions of copies of a stupid record.

>Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

Yes.

> If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut,
>why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

He was only smart in certain specialized areas of science.

>Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't
>point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Depending on the area of town you are in, people might get the wrong
message.

>Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are
>going to look up there anyway?

Because he/she is not a boob doctor.

> Why does goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're
>both dogs!

Goofy was only half dog.

>What do you call male ballerinas?

Dancers.

> Why ARE Trix only for kids?

They're not. I've bought boxes of Trix before and nobody asked if it was
for a kid or for me.

>If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why
>didn't he just buy dinner?

He was just looking for something to do with his time. The part of the
story that you were never told about is that he was also a gourmet chef and
had a very well-stocked kitchen back in his cave.

>Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?

Have you been following the stock market recently?

>If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Testy.

>If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from
>vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

Baby dinosaurs.

>If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him,
>is he still wrong?

No.

>If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Yes.

>Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

The letters can be used to make patterns. Sort of like ASCII art.

>Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but
>call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your ass?

I thought of the answer to this yesterday when I was driving on the
parkway, but now I can't remember.

>Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at
>you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the

Maybe you can't blow hard enough to make him happy.

I didn't properly submit the forms to the AMS committee, so I don't know
if there are prizes. Will inner satisfaction do?

It is going around, isn't it? /giggles/ I'm not sure what it means,

Mine died a litte over a year ago. He was the best...always made me feel

would share him with you.

I was blessed with 3 grandpas and I love them all dearly. Sadly they all
have passed away and I also miss them tremendously. They were good people
that our world needs.
