I throw the ball to who. Whoever it is drops the ball and the guy runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to What. What throws it to I Don’t Know. I Don’t Know throws it back to Tomorrow, Triple play. Another guy gets up and hits a long fly ball to Because. Why? I don’t know! He’s on third and I don’t give a darn!

Why do Hot Dogs come in packages of 10 and Hot Dog Buns come in packages of 8???

Why is a light switch labeled “On” and “Off”? When its on you know its on. When its off you can’t see to read it anyway!

We stretch out our faces to put on mascara in hopes of getting our cheeks away from our lashes until it dries so we don’t end up with little black dots on our faces from the edges of our lashes.

Why do they call it an ‘adult bookstore’?

There is no one reading, and there are no books. Most of the people in there are not grownups.

My kids are in college.

When they ask questions like that, I have learned to ask, “Do you really want to know?” They usually don’t.

Well.....do ya?

Because they are mentally ill, not the criminals but liberals

When you open a package of cotton balls, why don't you throw away the first one? When you open anything else, you throw away the cotton ball.

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

I met the famed psychic, Jean Dixon, on a street in Washington DC when the dogs we were walking stopped to greet one another. She asked, of my dog, "what's her name?" and I had to mightily resist asking the sweet, elderly seer just that question. Heh heh -- YOU tell ME!

My ‘not so better half’ wants to know ‘WHY you can't have your CAKE and eat it too?’

I have tried on multiple occasions to explain this to her but she's still clueless. It seems an exercise in futility.
