Since the directions for shampoo use are "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" -- how do you know when to stop??
Why do people only have "trains of thought?" Wouldn't they think a lot quicker if they had "planes of thought?" (And isn't it too noisy to think anyway??)
I had a complaint about our local newspaper's articles. Reporters kept repeating themselves, by slightly varying the wording, even in the same sentence. I called the main phone number, expressed my concerns, and was transferred to someone in charge. She answered the phone, "Department of Redundancy Department!"
Speaking of newspapers, why do they call pre-published articles "copy?" Isn't that plagiarism?
I am still trying to figure out why a quarterback is valued more than an halfback?!
While we're talking football -- why do kickers score "field goals," when they only get the goal by kicking the ball out of the field?
Have you ever seen a lobster using a lobster fork? Or a pickle using a pickle fork?
And in the "I really mean it" department -- why do people insist upon using the phrase, "I could care less" to mean that they don't care? Read it carefully. That is not what it means at all! "I could care less" means that the person actually does care, because the possibility remains for that person to care less. The phrase is, "I couldn't care less." Now, that makes sense! ;-}
One more thing -- no one has ever listened to mindless "dribble" unless s/he was listening to someone absent-mindedly bouncing a basketball! A dribble is either controlled ball-bouncing done on a basketball court, or is just a small "bit" of something. The actual phrase in question is "mindless drivel." ("Drivel" meaning "senseless babbling.")
And -- if you want to holler at me about any of this, well, "I could care less about your mindless dribble!" *VBG*
;-}
