I’ve been wondering about a few things lately.
Feel free to jump in and answer any of the questions I’ve been thinking about:
Why are only sons named after fathers and daughters aren’t named after their mothers?
If a daughter were named after her mother, would she be a Junior?
Why do we refer to it as a TV set, when in reality it’s only one?
Does a man named Nick have a “nick’ name?
Are zebras black with white strips or white with black stripes?
If mankind evolved from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys?
Do Lipton tea employees take coffee breaks?
Can you cry under water?
What’s a question with no answer called?
Ok I'll stab at it.
ReplyDelete1) Moms take on their husband's last name. Maybe that's why? My daughter has my middle name and if this new baby is a girl she will too.
2) Why are pants a pair of pants when there is only 1?
3) LOL probably not unless you call him "Nicky".
4) I'll say black with white stripes.
5) LOL - no doubt!
6) Yes, but in secret.
7) Ummm? Never tried it. But I know you can cry in the shower.
8) A question.

Good thoughts Heidi...so, you are going to be like the George Foreman of women? Naming your children by the same name?
ReplyDeleteSo...the storm passed you guys by yet?
Steve: LOL about GF. Not quite that bad until they are in trouble, then the middle name comes out. The storm is right on top of us. But it's not as bad as we thought it would be. Still have power. It's just dark out (for FL), raining non-stop, and windy. But I see some people even put their trash out and that stupid cup that I saw in my front yard yesterday evening is still there. It was raining so I didn't go get it. If the wind was very strong I assume that cup would be long gone. Thanks for the thoughts.

My daughter is named after me. Her first name is my middle name -- Tyra.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Hawaii have an interstate?
ReplyDeleteWhy does the drive up ATM machine have braille on the keypad?
so when blind people in taxis go to the bank, they can use the atm instead of the window
ReplyDeletenice. never thought about that.
ReplyDeleteThe answer to all these questions and more can be summed up with one answer: football
ReplyDeleteThere, I said it. I feel better now.
What are waiters or waitresses names if we don't need anything?
ReplyDeleteKevin: According to Rick "football".
ReplyDeleteROFL!

Heidi,
ReplyDeleteNOW YOU GOT IT!!!! ;-)
Steve, you've been watching entirely too much George Carlin and Seinfeld. These are the kinds of things those guys asked in standup comedy acts. Carling use to be funny when he was held to a higher standard of language. Then came "anything goes" mentality. David Brenner use to have some everyday walk of life humoristic oxymorons too.
ReplyDeleteI just try to forget these mindboggling things. It's hard enough for me to answer why to my grandchildren without trying to figure out why we adults have so many unanswerable questions. Funny post. selahV
