| Monday Musings for Baby Boomers – Head Scratchers… Posted: 14 Jan 2013 02:57 AM PST  Smile! Monday has always been a little bit of a let down, what with it being the beginning of the work week and all. So to start things out on a bright note for the week, I bring you the… Baby Boomers Monday Musings.Head Scratchers…Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there? Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? If you can’t drink and drive, why do you need a driver’s license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots? Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime? Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings? If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors? If a cow laughed real hard, would milk come out her nose? If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan? If you’re in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? You know how most packages say “Open here.” What is the protocol if the package says, “Open somewhere else”? Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM? Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Why isn’t “palindrome” spelled the same way backwards? Why is it that when you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo? You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can’t they make the whole plane out of the same substance? Hope that put a little smile on your face and Keep On Smilin’ You may also want to join the Baby Boomers US Forum for conversations by Baby Boomers about topics important to Baby Boomers!  |
