Since they all look lovely, there’s probably a good reason for it. What do y’all think?

Why do they call it a one night stand when there is very little standing involved?

Why do they say that 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea... does that mean that 1 out of 5 enjoys it?

Why is chicken without any bones called “boned” chicken?

Why do people sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” when they’re already there?

(I stole these from the MLB pitcher Larry Andersen.)

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.

She's right you know.
After you eat it, you still have it. For 12 to 36 hours. Longer, if you wish, but let's not go there.

As a kid, that one always got me. What is the point of having a cake and not being able to eat it? What exactly are you supposed to do with it - stare at it? Sell it or give it to other people so they can have their cake and eat it, but you can't?

I'm telling you, this one left a scar.
